I don't think the partitions will make a difference.

Are you perhaps running a firewall that blocks 10000 or a router that
doesn't redirect 10000? I was able to access my YDL server from my
home LAN (I wasn't running a firewall) but not from the unwashed
internet. When I added the 10000 port to my router's list of permitted
ports I was able to log-in to my webmin server from outside as well.
