I can’t install virtualmin with the install.sh file. It stops at the clamav version warning and it’s done.

FATAL - Fatal Error Occurred: Installation of virtualmin-release failed: 1
FATAL - Cannot continue installation.
FATAL - Attempting to remove virtualmin repository configuration, so the installation can be
FATAL - re-attempted after any problems have been resolved.
FATAL - Removing temporary directory and files.
FATAL - If you are unsure of what went wrong, you may wish to review the log
FATAL - in /root/virtualmin-install.log

so, I ran this a got this:

/bin/sh install.sh --uninstall

Running uninstall scripts …
Deleted init script /etc/rc.d/init.d/webmin
Done. There’s probably quite a bit of related packages and such left behind
but all of the Virtualmin-specific packages have been removed.

Then tried to reinstall and get this.

So, i think everything is ok so I go to the link via browser and nothing pulls up. it just times out.

Something is wrong.

I tried this on a clean installation of centos 5.2. It could be something I’ve done, but I just don’t know what it is.

For future reference, it’s best to start a new topic, as this isn’t related to the “Postfix Authentication problem” thread it’s in :slight_smile:

However, can you attach your /root/virtualmin-install.log file? That may offer some hints on what went wrong.

Also, what kind of server are you installing this onto, and how much RAM do you have?

SOrry, I will start a new topic if it’s necessary. i have 4gb of ram.

anyway, I figured my issue had some similarities to this thread. ie. this message about the clamav version warning. THis was posted in ealier posts of this thread.

Also, my server sysadmin told me to go here and post and monitor this issue to see if there is a fix or any updates:

anyway, attached is the log.

sorry it didn’t attach last post due to it being a .log file. [file name=virtualmin_install-c9069ef247e3c95462288c64ce14ceaa.txt size=67811]http://www.virtualmin.com/components/com_fireboard/uploaded/files/virtualmin_install-c9069ef247e3c95462288c64ce14ceaa.txt[/file]

It’s okay, don’t worry about the new thread at the moment – but I think the ClamAV issue is a red herring, as they say, I don’t think it’s the main issue here.

Something else seems to be going on at the moment, and I’m not sure what at the moment :slight_smile:

Aside from Webmin timing out, is the server otherwise working? Do you see Postfix, Apache, and Dovecot running?

What happens if you do this:

/etc/init.d/webmin stop
killall miniserv.pl

Wait a few seconds, and then start Webmin back up:

/etc/init.d/webmin start

Does it work for you at that point?

this is what i get:

/etc/init.d/webmin stop
Stopping Webmin server in /usr/libexec/webmin
killall miniserv.pl
miniserv.pl: no process killed
/etc/init.d/webmin start

I then go to my browser and the same thing happens. It times out:

http://216.83.111.34:1000

It’s like nothing got installed. ie. apache or php, mysql, or anything. There’s nothing on the server for these items.

27

Aha!

Rather than what you typed above – first, try the port "10000" rather than "1000", and use "https" rather than "http". That is, try this URL:

https://216.83.111.34:10000/

That actually loads up just fine here.

wow, i feel like an idiot. Ok, it looks like it works!

yes, it was a permissions issue. /var/lib/dovecot/ was set to 0770. Corrected, all is good.

BTW, here is the error during install on clamav:
