does anyone know what could cause this?
I am experiencing this exact same issue. I fixed one server by getting webmin working with ssl but this last server won't budge - cloudmin continues to claim that webmin is down.
Thanks

Doesn't anyone know what causes this?
I had this and solved it by syncing the ssh password with the webmin password.
|I think if cloudmin cannot log into webmin it will display as webmin down.
You do this under System Operation - change password.
Tried that, System Operation - Change password, and it didn't work.
it doesn't work for me either.
Any solution to this problem yet? Fixed at next version?
i had the same problem, the problem is you need to open ports 10000-10020 or something in the firewall, 10000 alone is not enough. i restricted those ports to the dom0's ip address of course, but it works fine now.
I also had this problem but none of ths solutions that were suggested here or elsewhere worked.
This has actually happened to me several times and generally what happens is when webmim refreshes its status it also spawns yum to check for updates if yum gets hung the perl script doesn't finish and returns that webmin isn't responding and so you get the "Webmin Down" error. If you check ps -e and see several dozen yum processes running as I did, kill them all and then click "refresh status". If your problem is due to the above issue and you've killed all yum processes then webmin should return an alive status.
I confirm you need open up ports 10000-10010 in guest system to overcome this issue.
