webmin corrupted
Hi guys. For some reason webmin stopped working. Some time ago I installed it and had to edit some firewall rules as it was blocking me and did not allow me to access via web to the CP. I checked if it was running and it was ( via console). I am with centos latest version. Apart from this I had been diving into plausible errors and got this:

which distro of Linux are you running there?
i would try to remove the webmin package from the package manager.
update the system to the latest versions and then re install webmin - that should work for you.

Sorry, I thought you had said it was fixed.
What distro are you running? This is usually caused by a corrupt /dev/urandom / random.
Have you tried rebooting? If they are missing, they will be rebuild upon boot up.
Do you have a hypervisor for your VPS? If so, which one are you using? is your VPS OpenVZ based?This is the best signature in the world....Tribute!

Try pumping this into the command line to rebuild your random -
mknod /dev/random c 1 8This is the best signature in the world....Tribute!

It's most likely corrupt, especially if this is CentOS on OpenVZ. Delete your /dev/random and run the mknod again to recreate.
I have successfully fixed a similar issue a few times using this method.
If that fails, your host can run a command to unzip a new /dev onto your vps (if this is OpenVZ, I suspect it is as this is a common problem).
If you on the off chance happen to be using HyperVM, there is a "fix dev" option within it. That's how common the problem is.This is the best signature in the world....Tribute!

I am using vaserv and my os is centos.. I cant recall if the virtualization software is openvz.. IIRC they were using hypervm but they might have changed it since the hack.. any way I can tell?

Actually, it was a vaserv VPS I have fixed this way (I have a few through them).
You don't have HyperVM, they are just now rolling out beta control panels.
If you dump your /dev/random and regenerate with the command given, you should be good to go.
you are almost certainly on OpenVZ.This is the best signature in the world....Tribute!

Yes, that's what you want to do, be careful with that -r recursive though!
just a
rm /dev/random
then
mknod /dev/random c 1 8
I forgot if you have to reboot afterwards...if sshd won't start, go for a reboot, it should be up after that.
If that fails, just submit a ticket to vaserv support to do a /dev fix. They will know exactly what you are talking about.Last edited by mugo; 09-06-2009 at 11:39 PM.
