Install on CentOS 5 - Issues

Virtualmin
1

Hi,

I have downloaded the latest virtualmin script and have tried it on a CentOS 5.4 box. I am getting 404 file not found issues when the script tries to fetch the RPMs. Is this a known issue?

From Console:

Retrieving http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/readline-5.1-1.1.i386.rpm
error: skipping http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/readline-5.1-1.1.i386.rpm - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error

Retrieving http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/python-2.4.3-24.el5.i386.rpm
error: skipping http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/python-2.4.3-24.el5.i386.rpm - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error

And then a test shows:

[root@host ~]# wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/readline-5.1-1.1.i386.rpm --2010-03-20 21:40:27-- http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/readline-5.1-1.1.i386.rpm

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hrm, that’s a bit odd, as your system appears to be trying to download older packages that haven’t existed in some months.

I’m not sure whether that’s a fluke, or whether something else odd is going on :slight_smile:

My suggestion would be to try running a “yum update”, and afterwards, try performing the installation again.

I had run a yum update before i attempted the installation. I am not sure whats going on…

[root@host1 ~]# yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

[root@host1 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.4 (Final)

Forget it, I have just realised what was going on. User error, to many install scripts hanging about. Latest installer from the site is running now, fingers crossed.

Sorry about that!

Thanks for the update, I’m glad to hear it’s working :slight_smile:
