Try it again. Our server experienced some downtime last night and this morning. We had a very aggressive crawler, that wasn’t respecting robots.txt, hitting our Webmin documentation wiki asking for every diff between all versions of all pages ever published…calculating the diffs is quite a bit of work, and we have several hundred pages in the wiki, so it ended up with hundreds of the diff processes running and took out everything else…anyway, I disabled diffs for non-logged in users and it seems to have straightened things out.

Apologies for the inconvenience. If the problem persists, drop me an email, and I’ll drop in on your box and take a look and get things straightened out.

I am trying to install VMPro on a fresh install of RHEL 5 where all I’ve done is run Yum update.

The install.sh gets to

error: open of <!DOCTYPE failed: No such file or directory
error: open of HTML failed: No such file or directory
error: open of PUBLIC failed: No such file or directory

and then hangs.

Don’t know what to do at this point.

Also, before the above errors, I get:

./install.sh: line 575: [: too many arguments

Apparently my Licen number didn’t get installed. Got that working and now have to figure out why zlib isn’t installed.

The errors you’ve mentioned are due to either copying the file from a Windows box via FTP without first switching to binary mode, or a copy-paste error when copying the example download line in the Serial Numbers page (which as you’ve noted, leads to the license not being set up correctly).

zlib has nothing to do with Virtualmin or its installation…but you definitely need it (for dozens of things). I’m not sure how you’d get a Linux distribution installed without having zlib. :wink:

When I open this adress I get an error page.

Howdy,

I just wanted to verify that you are using the Virtualmin Pro installer, rather than GPL one.

The URL you mentioned above in theory wouldn’t be where the Pro installer would be grabbing the Virtualmin files from – and the GPL version doesn’t support Fedora :slight_smile:

The Pro installer is here:

Have a good one,

It works thanks.
