@azteech: If I recall correctly, the web-based post-installation wizard of Virtualmin asks you for the MySQL root password, and not the shell script.
Yes, that is correct. The web-based post-installation wizard does ask you for the MySQL root password, unfortunately it did not use the password I entered in. Instead it created a random password.
Am not sure if the fatal error because of beta version, it maybe because improper setting / installation.
INFO- cleaning up apt headers and packages, so we can start fresh…
INFO-

Pre-Installation Checklist
So, let’s boil down all of those preliminaries into a simple checklist. These are the things you need to do before running the install.sh:
Confirm that networking is fully functional. Ping software.virtualmin.com. If it doesn't work, you'll need to fix it.
anyone can help me to fix that? i tried to ping software.virtualmin.com, and the reasult:
ping: unknown host software.virtualmin.com
thanks,
sugi
ping: unknown host software.virtualmin.com
It sounds like the nameservers your server is configured to use may not be working properly.
You can tweak what nameservers are in use by editing /etc/resolv.conf.

hello,
thanks for your comment.
may i ask the name server software.virtualmin.com refferring is not the name server that I named my server with? i thought is shoud be some kind repository.
–or–
by nameserver, you mean that software.virtualmin.com is alreadyy correct, only that i named not properly , that is why result that comment?
i named my server through webmin and the name is n1. ******.com
****** is my domain name that is not yer directed to my server, maybe after i figure all out 
look forward to your comment,
regards,
Sugi
You are correct. Normal installation of MySQL does normally ask for password “post-download/Install”. However, in my case, when running the script, I was never prompted to enter a password - it set one randomly. Because the install is done via a script - it may be a case where the script didn’t give “Screen” dialogue for entering a password and just put one in when the next command processed. Don’t know - all I know is I fixed the issue by manually doing a password reset for MySQL and setting up a new one.
Thanks for your response on this.
problem solved, the host name server is not named properly.
when i install again virtual min, i entered different nameserver and it went through all the way.
thanks for response, sugi
I just grabbed the install script today and ran it:
wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
I got as far as installing my dependencies (after FQDN setup)
apt-get --config-file apt.conf.noninteractive -y --force-yes install postfix postfix-pcre webmin usermin ruby libapache2-mod-ruby libxml-simple-perl libcrypt-ssleay-perl unzip zip quota
Which fails and halts the script.
E: Opening configuration file apt.conf.noninteractive - ifstream::ifstream (2: No such file or directory)
Any help would be appreciated.
