Newly installed centos 6.2 and can not install Virtualmin. Try now with CentOS 6.3 and Virtualmin install nor can I see the log and in both cases is the same error:
rh-postgresql package not available
No package rh-postgresql-server available
And I do not find these packages in any repository
In fact it seems that these packages do not exist
I think it’s a bug in Virtualmin

Howdy,
The package not found notices aren’t fatal errors… can you grab your /root/virtualmin-install.log file, and attach that to this post? That may offer some additional insight into what’s going on.
Thanks!

Newly installed Centos 6.2, no ftp, how I can go down /root/virtualmin-install.log to paste the file here?
-Stuart
You can use a tool that downloads the file over SSH/SCP/SFTP.
One example is Putty’s command line pscp or psftp programs:

Another option is to use the GUI WinSCP program:
Now, which is the command to download the file?
log is it

Howdy,
Are you using a VPS there? Or is that a dedicated server?
If it’s a VPS, what type of VPS is it?
I see two errors in your log that are likely related – one is a problem disabling SELinux. and the other is an issue installing the “virtualmin-release-latest.noarch.rpm” package.
What output do you receive if you run these two commands as root:
wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/rhel/6/x86_64/virtualmin-release-latest.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh virtualmin-release-latest.noarch.rpm
it´s a dedicated server, clean install of centos 6

error: open of virtualmin-release-latest.noarch.rpm failed: No such file or directory
The forum here shortened the URL I put in there… I tweaked it so that it wraps, rather than being cut off… I did verify that the above command works.
Try that wget command again, using the edited version of the post above – and let’s see what happens there 
-Eric
rpm -ivh virtualmin-release-latest.noarch.rpm
Preparing… ############## 100%
1:virtualmin-release ############## 100%
Running updatedb so locate works…this will take a little while.
/var/tmp/rpm.y6w5mq: line 12: updatedb:command not found
Attempting to import various system RPM-GPG-KEY files…Errors may occur,
if you´ve already import them. It is safe ti ignore these errors.
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.y6w5mq: line39: locate command not found
So lacks
No package rh-postgresql available.
No package rh-postgresql-server available.
No package php-domxl available.
No package mod_python available.
Aha, that error installing virtualmin-release-latest.noarch.rpm shows the problem… the locate command is missing.
Try running this command:
yum install mlocate
And then run the installer again.
-Eric
I installed mlocate
but still missing the following files:
No package rh-postgresql available.
No package rh-postgresql-server available.
Well, as I mentioned above – those are warnings, not fatal errors… those won’t cause the installation to fail.
Those two packages aren’t available on newer CentOS installs, only older ones – but that doesn’t prevent Virtualmin from installing, it just generates those warnings while doing so.
So the issue you’re seeing isn’t related to that, it’s something else
Can you post the current virtualmin-install.log from your latest install attempt?
Thanks!
-Eric
Here is the new log
Okay, so it’s still the virtualmin-release-latest.noarch.rpm package that’s failing to install… that’s the one you manually downloaded above.
What happens if you try installing that again:
rpm -ivh virtualmin-release-latest.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh virtualmin-release-latest.noarch.rpm
Preparing… ############## 100% 1:virtualmin-release ############## 100% Running updatedb so locate works…this will take a little while. Attempting to import various system RPM-GPG-KEY files…Errors may occur, if you´ve already import them. It is safe to ignore these errors.
So that’s good – that means virtualmin-release-latest.noarch.rpm installed properly, which it didn’t do last time, according to the logs.
Can you run the install.sh again, and if it doesn’t work, attach the most recent log?
Thanks!
-Eric
