Okay, the new Virtualmin version is in place, as is the new install script.
So things should be good to go with Ubuntu 16.04 support!
Please let us know if you run into any issues. Virtualmin didn’t officially support MySQL 5.7 until this release. And Ubuntu 16.04 is also the only distro to ship with PHP 7 by default, we ran into a couple of minor install script problems that were corrected.
Feel free to give that a whirl, and let us know how it works for you.
An official announcement will be coming tomorrow, and I’ll also be working on upgrade instructions at that point.
No issue with installer
Webalizer conf has to be tuned
but running my Joomla 3.5.1 websites
in error_logs :
mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Warning: session_write_close(): Failed to write session data (user). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct
and display Mysql connect error
Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error: Could not connect to MySQL.
It worked for me, just had to edit /etc/issue (but it’s always the case with this server), and also, the webalizer conf file was not in /etc/webalizer.conf but /etc/webalizer/webalizer.conf
And now it works perfectly, thx guys!
(Good thing we have the old them first too so it runs the wizard)
edit: but I can’t install roundcube, it says it requires PHP5 (I think it works with PHP7 now), and same for phpmyadmin.
edit2: even after installing php 5.6 with ppa/onderj, and I’ve changed php 7 to php 5.6 in php configuration, I still can’t install roundcube or phpmyadmin, it still says that it requires php 5.
edit3: ok, even if I set PHP version to 5.6 to a virtual server, it still uses php 7 (checked from phpversion()).
Downloaded Ver 1.1.4 of the GPL script and it appears the install failed. This is a fresh install of a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS dreamhost cloud server that was fully upgraded.

Thanks to everyone for trying it out, and letting us know the issues you’re seeing!
It looks like we goofed, and forget that the webalizer issue (which we fixed) we actually fixed in Webmin, not Virtualmin. So we should have released a new Webmin version too. Nuts! The workaround in the meantime is to run this command:
As far as the RoundCube Install Script goes – I’m going to ask Jamie about that, we saw a similar problem in another script that we corrected. Apparently we didn’t get them all. We’ll get the scripts corrected so that they install properly, but as soon as I figure out what the problem is I’ll post a patch or workaround that can be used to get those installed.
I just wanted to let everyone know that we’re working hard to sort out what’s going on with all that… we fixed what we thought was the problem, only to run into some issues we didn’t realize were going on.

Someone above mentioned that they had received that error during an installation attempt. If I understood correctly, what they do is run “apt-get update” and “apt-get upgrade”… and after doing that I believe they were able to complete the installation.
Could you see what happens if you try running those two commands?
The last two break very similarly: Building dependency tree…

It looks to be an error in the hash for webmin-virtual-server-theme which breaks. I’ve done an apt-get update and upgrade afterwards, but upgrade finds nothing.
Thanks for your help on this. Any idea when the upgrade instructions will be out? I tried an upgrade on my own but it gets stuck at the MySQL 5.7 portion. Apparently there’s a ‘bug’ of sorts when upgrading from an old MySQL version to a new one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1571865
It would be great if you could cover this in the upgrade instruction
Meanwhile, fervently praying that my upgrade will go flawlessly. Heh.
That’s all very odd! I’m struggling to reproduce that issue, even though I’m also testing with 64 bit Virtualmin GPL.
And there’s a number of folks who were able to install on that platform.
But there’s also multiple reports of this hashsum issue.
Could I perhaps log into someone’s system who’s experiencing this problem?
If you’re receiving a hash sum mismatch when performing an install, and you wouldn’t mind me logging in to take a look, can you email me login credentials at eric@virtualmin.com? You can email me a password if you want, or just add my SSH key at the bottom to an account with admin permissions.
If you could, make the subject something like “Ubuntu hash sum problem” to help me keep track of who’s emailing me
