I’ve been trying to install scripts on a new virtual server under Install Scripts using the Available Scripts options.
After selecting the script that I would like to run (eg. phpMyAdmin), I click the “Show Install Options” and then “Install Now”
The trouble I’m having is that no matter what I select; phpMyAdmin, Wordpress, vTiger CRM or anything else they all just seem to hang and in some instances eventually will time out afterwards.
Edit: I get this error message [Failed to install script : Failed to lock file /etc/apache2/sites-available/test.com.conf after 5 minutes. Last error was : ]
At first I thought it was a resource issue so I have bumped up the spec on this VM virtual image as follows:-
Intel® Core™ i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 8 cores
Real Memory - 3.77 GB total / 1.11 GB used
Virtual Memory - 3.90 GB total / 0 bytes used
This is also the only image on this particular VM Ware box.
So I deleted the .lock files, verified that they were in fact deleted and restarted Webmin.
I then retried the phpMyAdmin install script and it hangs.
Thought I’d leave it overnight and still “processing” this morning.
Also the following two .lock files have been recreated.
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf.lock
/etc/apache2/sites-available/test.com.conf.lock
So its obviously something to do with apache but what would cause this?
Update: It seems that my ISP is blocking the install scripts because I managed to get the scripts to run using an alternative ISP.
Thank you so much for the help Eric!
