  MySQL does not appear to be installed and running on your system, or has not yet been set up properly in Webmin's MySQL Database module. If your system does not use MySQL, it should be disabled in Virtualmin's module configuration page.

… your system is not ready for use by Virtualmin.

/var/run/mysqld/ directory is empty???

Fixed:
chown mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld

After that, reboot and it works!

I’m glad you got it working!

Thanks for the info on how you got it fixed.
