Installing Virtualmin fails

Virtualmin

Seems to be the same issue as here: https://forum.virtualmin.com/t/cant-install-virtualmin-today/114254 , except for the “Maybe fixed?” part

Installing PHP7: Success.
Spin pid is: 11824
Marking 'Virtualmin LAMP Stack' for install: Success.
Spin pid is: 11915
Marking 'Virtualmin Core' for install: Success.
Spin pid is: 12006
Maybe run: yum groups mark install (see man yum)
Installing dependencies and system packages: Success.
Spin pid is: 12109
Warning: group Virtualmin Core does not exist.
Maybe run: yum groups mark install (see man yum)
Error: No packages in any requested group available to install or update

Running yum groups mark install prints Error: Need a group or list of groups and a lot of options.
I tried re-running the install.sh script (a few different ways) but no luck.

Script was freshly grabbed from software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
Maybe the groups generation got broken again?

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version CentOS 7
Webmin version ???
Virtualmin version 6.2.2

I don’t see how. The group exists and is correctly named: https://software.virtualmin.com/vm/6/gpl/universal/repodata/1f850ffb518c3887a50af4896f2293f55bd8a18ab87dba1e3b9d17c82b1524d8-virtualmin-core-comps.xml

Did you yum clean all? If you’d tried to install previously it may not have re-downloaded the groups.

Also, you probably shouldn’t be installing CentOS 7 at this point in history. It’s quite old. I’ve posted a beta installer that works on Alma/Rocky a few times, at least I think it’s still working…I’ve been refactoring the VM7 repos heavily lately, but tried to keep the old layout working for now.

Went for a re-install from scratch and that worked… so probably forgot a yum update somewhere, or something… thanks for looking.

Before you run any install, the best would always be is to:

  1. Sync datetime by running either systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd or systemctl restart chronyd depending on your system
  2. Check that the time has really synced by running date command (can take upto 10-15 seconds)
  3. Clear package manager cache by running apt-get clean or dnf clean all
  4. Run package upgrades with apt-get upgrade or dnf update
  5. Run Virtualmin install.sh -h script to check on the available options
  6. Run Virtualmin install with preferred options
