Messy double install and double problem

Hello,

I realized too late that setup.sh does not check for prior installs… and that makes quite a mess.

best,

Chalk it up to a life lesson. One for the books — live and learn…

Note first requriement.

You shouldn’t be using setup.sh on any OS with a good supported package manager. You have apt and dpkg. You shouldn’t be using setup.sh. There are deb packages in an apt repo for you. And it will protect you from all sorts of mistakes and make all sorts of conveniences available to you that a tarball installation cannot do.

They are not talking about Virtualmin. Webmin has no such requirement. (But, they should use a package, not the tarball.)
