Can't login into Webmin - Please help

I am testing a virtual server, and I can't for the life of me login to Webmin. I have the root password set and it won't accept it. I contacted my host and their answer didn't work. FWIW, I can login to Usermin fine.

What is the difference between Webmin and Usermin? IOW, what applications does Webmin offer that Usermin does not?


I'm thinking it may have something to do with ownership and groups. My virtual private server is running suEXEC. I'm not sure whether certain users and programs need to run as me, apache or root.

For example, I have /etc/httpd and /var/www/html running as apache and apache as the secondary group, and root running as root and root.

Further, I have my username's and apache's home directory set to /var/html/www and root set to /.

Not sure if these are right, and can't find any absolute answers at apache.org/docs. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
