I’m in the process of setting up, on a separate host, a copy of my virtualmin system. But it’s failing when running the script to install virtualmin. It appears to be because of only being able to license one server.

I thought we were allowed on back-up/hot-spare?

If not, how would I go about replicating everything?

Howdy,

Yup, you are indeed allowed to use that license as a hot-spare. That won’t prevent the installer from running.

What error(s) are you seeing exactly?

Hey Eric,

It appeared to be erroring at a line that looked like http://:… in the install script.

I ended up installing GPL, then I went to “Upgrade to Virtualmin Pro”, entered my details, and then it worked.

So this has been resolved. Thanks!
