How to update from Virtualmin 3.65 to latest version?

Thanesh · January 9, 2014, 2:02am

Hi,

I have a weird problem where all of sudden when I am accessing the virtualmin, system information only being loaded, but sidebar is not shown. The browser tab still showing progress that it is loading but nothing appear for almost more than an hour as I tested so far.

I already tried to restart server, and restart webmin, using below command

/etc/init.d/webmin restart

but always the same. Also, I stopped all the services in virtualmin and reloaded the page.

netstat -an | grep
:10000 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10000 0.0.0.0
:* LISTEN udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10000 0.0.0.0:*

My firewall is set open to port 10000 in amazon ec2 firewall.

I am using Virtualmin GPL 3.65.

Here what I got when I am running, “ls /etc/yum.repos.d”

CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Base.repo.rpmnew CentOS-Media.repo epel-testing.repo epel.repo virtualmin.repo

When I tried to perform update using, “yum update” command, the update failed. Here what I got

Thanks in advance.

Hmm, you’re getting some pretty unusual errors when trying to perform those updates.

Perhaps cleaning out the cache/metadata would help with that.

What if you run this command:

yum clean all

And then attempt running “yum update” again… does it work better at that point?

Hi andreychek,

Than you for the reply. After I executed “yum clean all”, then I executed “yum update”. Here what I got

Howdy,

Okay, it looks like the EPEL repository you have there isn’t working properly.

My suggestion would be to disable that, and then try again. I would suggest disabling the repositories associated with the file “epel.repo” and “epel-testing.repo”.

Hi Eric,

After I disabled the repo, here what I got

Just to verify – is that what occurs when running “yum update”?

Also, can you paste in the contents of your /etc/issue file?
