Oh, may be it was a system delay in reading the unit file or some other configs. Good that it’s up and running, thanks for the feedback.

I just tried,

$ sudo systemctl start webmin

again, and somehow everything seems to be working fine. No idea what happened before, I tried a few times. Anyway, all seems good now.

First ensure that you have actually installed Webmin as shown in this guide; if so, then try to go into /var/webmin directory:
$su –
#cd /var/webmin

And look through these files for any errors:
#cat miniserv.error
#cat cat miniserv.log

When I do:

$ sudo systemctl start webmin

I get this error:

Failed to start webmin.service: Unit webmin.service not found.

Any ideas?
