I’m in the process of moving my virtualmin installation from a physical server to a virtual server at AWS. Both servers are running Ubuntu 10.04.
I have Virtualmin Pro on the physical server and Virtualmin GPL on the virtual server. I’ve been testing the virtual server with a small number of sites. Now that I feel comfortable with AWS I’d like to upgrade the virtual server to Virtualmin Pro and migrate the remainder of my sites (about 70).
I read in another post that it is allowable to run Virtualmin Pro on two servers to facilitate a migration. I’ve tried upgrading Virtualmin GPL to Pro using my existing serial number and key. After the upgrade complete, no packages are installed and I’m still running Virtualmin GPL. The only change I can see is that my Pro license is listed on the information screen, but it says I have unlimited instead of the 100 in my current license.
Any ideas on how to get this installation upgraded to Pro?

Yup!

Hmm, can you show us the output you get while performing the upgrade to Pro? And what steps are you using to do that, are you using the “Upgrade to Virtualmin Pro” option within Virtualmin?
The main reason that shouldn’t work is if you’re license were expired… but I verified that you should have an active 100 domain license.
Reading package lists…

Your system has been successfully upgraded to Virtualmin Pro!
If I go to system information it says:
Virtualmin version 3.92.gpl GPL
Under Virtualmin Licenses it says:
Licensed domains Unlimited Domains left Unlimited
If I click on the Re-check Virtualmin license link I get a 404.
Nuts, those errors are because I screwed up when giving you the repositories to use
I accidentally combined the names from Debian and Ubuntu to form a repository that doesn’t exist
During the upgrade process, Virtualmin may have corrected that; however, just to be super-sure, can you paste in the contents of your current sources.list file?
I’ll verify that it’s correct.
Note that I’ve marked this post as private, so although the entry will contain your Virtualmin license key information, no one but the Virtualmin staff will be able to see it.
deb http://5557153:dUYsGnEyvt@software.virtualmin.com/debian/ virtualmin-lucid main
deb http://5557153:dUYsGnEyvt@software.virtualmin.com/debian/ virtualmin-universal main
To instead read like so (it’s just changing the debian to ubuntu):
deb http://5557153:dUYsGnEyvt@software.virtualmin.com/ubuntu/ virtualmin-lucid main
deb http://5557153:dUYsGnEyvt@software.virtualmin.com/ubuntu/ virtualmin-universal main
After that, run “apt-get update”, and make sure that there aren’t any errors.
