I’m a new virtualmin user. Sorry for the basic question, but I can’t get past version 3.99. Is there a special way I need to install the software? I can’t install via the RPM because a conflict is throw. (I suppose I could uninstall first). The Virtualmin panel does not show any new updates. Neither does Yum update.
Any ideas?
Howdy,
Can you paste in the exact error you’re getting?
That is, what output do you get if you run the command “yum update” as root from the command line?

Hi Eric -
Thanks for getting back to me. Yum update complete fine. No issues or anything like that. But the version number is showing 3.99. Not sure if that’s normal.
One other thing … I can’t seem to get out of of webmin. I tried changing the theme and when I did there was no longer a way back to Virtualmin. Is there a common fix?
Thanks!
Howdy,
What output does this command show:
rpm -qa | grep virtual-server
Regarding the theme – there isn’t another theme shipped with Virtualmin… you’d need to use the theme named “Virtualmin Framed Theme” in order to be able to use Virtualmin. Switching back to that theme should solve you problem.
-Eric
rpm -qa | grep virtual-server
wbm-virtual-server-3.99.gpl-1.noarch
ust-virtual-server-theme-6.9-1.noarch
wbt-virtual-server-theme-8.7-1.noarch
wbt-virtual-server-mobile-2.5-1.noarch
Hmm, it doesn’t seem to be throwing any errors when running a yum update. But, let’s start here… what happens when you change the theme back to the Virtualmin Framed Theme, does that make the UI look correct again?
-Eric
So, there are really two issues here. Maybe I shouldn’t have combined them into one post. As for the Virtualmin 4.0 problem, even the RPM command above shows that only v3.99 is installed. Is there something that I should be doing to perform an upgrade to 4.0?
As for the theme issue, switching themes turned out to be a big problem. Sometimes switching themes would work and sometimes it wouldn’t. It may have been an NGINX cachine issue. There was literally nothing I could do to get back to the correct theme. I finally had to wipe everything and reinstall.
Eric,
I’d like to confirm that CentOS 5 and 6 won’t upgrade past Virtualmin 3.99 when using the GPL version, however Virtualmin 3.99 Pro upgraded without issue to 4.0.0… Hopes this help track down issues.

Peter, are you seeing a particular error while trying to upgrade from 3,99 to 4.00? Or does it just not propose an upgrade?
-Eric
There is no way to upgrade.
Eric,
Running “yum update -y” as I usually do to keep my systems up to date, upgrading all “non-pro” nodes results in virtualmin thinking that 3.99 is the current version. Therefore, no error, the system just doesn’t suggest that there’s a newer version.

Eric,
It appears “wbm-virtual-server-4.00-1.noarch.rpm” was only released into:
http://software.virtualmin.com/universal
and not:
http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/universal
