    Exclamation New to Linux - Webmin Error

    Hello community and experts,

    I am new to this forum and Linux. I've been doing a significant amount of research on Storage/Media servers. Most people are recommending using Linux Server, run XEN for you VM, and use the VM's for your software you want to run.

    I installed the Linux Unbuntu Server 12.04.1 LTS, XEN, and Webmin. I installed PuTTY on another machine so I can disconnect the monitor and keyboard. Linux Server is a bit complex as everything has to be done through command line (It'll take time to learn :P).

    In the meantime, I installed Webmin to have some form of GUI for the server. When I run the command:
    curlyp@Linux-Server-Main:~$ sudo /etc/webmin/start I receive and error. Here is the error I receive:

    Starting Webmin server in /usr/share/webmin
    Pre-loaded WebminCore
    Failed to bind to port 10000 : Address already in use
    Could not listen on any portscurlypl@Linux-Server-Main:~$ ^C


    So, I ran netstat to see what is using the 10000. Here is the results:

    Active Internet connections (w/o servers)
    Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
    tcp 0 0 X.X.X.X:ssh X.X.X.X:62369 ESTABLISHED

    unix 3 [ ] DGRAM 6864
    unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 6806 @/com/ubuntu/upstart

    I don't see port 10000 being used. If anyone has any advice on how to fix this issue so I can use Webmin I would appreciate it.

    Thanks for reading!

    Hello Curlyp,

    If you run the below command it should also give you the application name which is using the port:
    netstat --listening
