You need to use your IP Address not the one listed in the link I posted, as clearly stated
When this is complete, you should be able to access Webmin using the IP address of your raspberry pi.

Yes, am using the static ip address of the PI, and it works with SSH ok.
here is my /etc/network/interfaces file :
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.9
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1

here is my /etc/network/interfaces file :
Static IP addresses are NOT defined in /etc/network/interfaces now. They're defined in /etc/dhcpcd.conf
Add this stuff at the bottom
Code: Select all
interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.1.9/24
static routers=192.168.1.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1 8.8.8.8
