Help! (Home for newbies)

DEar All,
Firstly , Id like to thank for marvelous Virtualmin.

Since 3.80 GPL (on my Ubuntu 8.04.), during update of Virtualmin and webmin I am encountering following error (below the message). Error: Script was not run with full path

After update, Virtualmin still shows 3.80GPL but I cant run update process again because It points me that Its already newest version.
Should I be worry?

Kind regards,
Piotr

Huh, I’ve never seen that particular error before… if you log into the command line as root, and run this:

dpkg -l webmin-virtual-server

What output do you get?

Hi Andreychek,
I am getting following info which I presume is correct. I am just worried If everything is ok.
Server works flawless except this message.

root@vmin:~# dpkg -l webmin-virtual-server

Yeah, that all looks good. It may just mean that the old Webmin process didn’t shut down cleanly, which isn’t a big deal… you can verify that it’s not causing problems by:

  • Stopping Webmin, with: /etc/init.d/webmin stop

  • Look for any running Webmin processes: ps auxw | grep miniserv | grep webmin

  • If you see any, kill them off!

  • Start Webmin back up: /etc/init.d/webmin start

After that, you should be in good shape.
