Howdy,

I don’t actually seem any errors in that output.

Take a peek in /root/virtualmin-install.log – do you see any errors in there that might explain why the installation failed? You can always attach that log if you aren’t sure what the problem is.

Ah, your post seemed particularly short… usually when it’s that short, it means someone copied and pasted the output they saw on the screen.

In your case, it may mean the install bailed out early on :slight_smile:

There’s unfortunately no clear error that shows why the installer had trouble… I’m curious what output you get if you attempt to run this command:

apt-get install postfix postfix-pcre webmin usermin ruby libapache2-mod-ruby libxml-simple-perl libcrypt-ssleay-perl unzip zip libfcgi-dev

Does that install those packages, or do you receive an error of some sort?

Some wild guesses on my end… Did you execute the install script as root? Is this a fresh system, or are there already (potentially conflicting) packages installed?

EDIT: The root part seems okay… since it stored the logfile in /root/.... :slight_smile:
