Virtualmin 6 beta available for testing

Joe · July 6, 2017, 8:56pm

What distro and version are you installing on? There are interesting problems there I’d like to sort out. Postfix failing to start is a weird one that I haven’t seen in any testing, so far.

Ned · July 7, 2017, 1:44pm

Debian 9 64Bit.

nfz300zx · July 7, 2017, 3:02pm

I’m also getting this on a basic Debian 9 install. Do we have a fix or ETA on when Debian 9 is fully supported? im looking to rebuild my server and am holding out for this.

noisemarine · July 7, 2017, 3:05pm

If more people would provide useful feedback, it would go more quickly. Why not delve in your virtualmin_install.log, or post the exact error you get?

nfz300zx · July 7, 2017, 3:18pm

Funny enough, I am just doing that now. Had to rebuild my machine again from scratch to reproduce it again.

OK, screen shot of the error : https://chimera-labs.com/misc/debian-error.png

Installation using vm6-install.sh on Debian 9 went smoothly.
The System Information page reports Virtualmin 5.99 rather than 6.

Joe · July 8, 2017, 7:37am

That’s correct. We’ll bump rev to 6.0 when the beta is over. 5.99 is feature complete for 6 but needs testing.

Joe · July 10, 2017, 9:12pm

So, I see two problems, and I’ll get them sorted for the next release. There may be others.

First up is the address and network parsing and hostname setting code is broken. That one is tricky; the format we’re working with has changed a couple of times across the distros/versions we support, so I’m gonna have to have multiple code paths, and I hate that in shell scripts, but it’s gotta be done.

Next, for some reason it configured Firewall (iptables) instead of Firewalld. Which is wrong for Debian 9, where firewalld is available.

The latter problem is probably why you can’t reach Webmin. Try running:


# virtualmin config-system --include Firewalld

See if that makes Webmin accessible. (Test ssh access after doing this before you end your current session, as I think someone else reported that one of the firewall config modules broke all of their access…which shouldn’t happen, and I can’t figure out how it could happen, but better safe than sorry if it’s a remote system.)

cinterpro · July 11, 2017, 1:11pm

Hi Joe.
Thank you for your explanation.
Let me share with you my findings
virtualmin config-system --include Firewalld

result: bash: virtualmin: no se encontró la orden (could not find the command)

Tried to re-install
Virtualmin may already be installed. This can happen if an installation failed, and can be ignored in that case. But, if Virtualmin has already successfully installed you should not run this script again. Updates and upgrade can be performed from within Virtualmin. To change license details, use the ‘virtualmin change-license’ command. Changing the license never requires re-installation. Really Continue?

Am I really the only one where the Virtualmin/webmin can not be installed using ./install.sh?

Installing from a flash usb using debian-9.0.0-amd64-netinst.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

That looks mostly fine. There’s a quota error, which is really common on virtual machines, as we often can’t actually start quotas without changes to the boot options (either inside or outside of the VM) and a reboot of the VM.

And, there’s a kill error because of a bug in the process cleanup at the end, but that’s harmless. And, I see a bug in our Webmin module packages (all of them), but it’s also harmless, I think, as most of them do not have postinstall scripts that need to run. But, I’ll see about getting that fixed.

Joe · July 12, 2017, 9:33pm

"Am I really the only one where the Virtualmin/webmin can not be installed using ./install.sh? "

I don’t think that’s what’s happened here. I think everything is installed, but a couple of things didn’t get configured right or started up.

What do you get from the following commands?


dpkg -s webmin
dpkg -s webmin-virtual-server

Those are the primary packages…so if they’re installed, then Webmin/Virtualmin are installed, and we just have configuration to worry about. If they are not installed, then there’s some other issue, which I don’t think anyone else has reported. (In every case I’ve seen thus far, there are configuration issues, which I’m fixing as I find them and as they get reported.)

Edit: Note I had a typo in my commands above…I accidently put -i instead of -s. Fixed now.

Joe · July 12, 2017, 9:35pm

I’m not sure that’s the same thing. But, it might be. Are you saying Webmin is not responding on port 10000 after installation (that would be the “same thing” as the prior message)?

I’m running a test here to see if I can reproduce the problem.

Joe · July 12, 2017, 9:48pm

OK, I’m able to reproduce the missing virtualmin CLI (the virtualmin command) on Debian. I think it’s related to the postinstall scripts failing to run because it can’t find WebminCore as the packages are being installed. I don’t know why it’s doing that, but will get it sorted out.

But, other than the missing virtualmin CLI command, my test install resulted in a pretty much functional system. Webmin/Virtualmin are running on port 10000. I did get the wrong firewall configured (Firewall instead of Firewalld, as happened in your case) so I needed to manually add a rule to allow port 10000 access. I’m not sure why it’s detecting the wrong firewall.

Since the virtualmin command doesn’t get setup, you can still run the config-system command with:


# /usr/share/webmin/virtual-server/config-system.pl --include Firewalld

That should open up the ports so you can try to access Webmin.

So, what I think is broke, right now:

Wrong firewall detection (iptables instead of firewalld).
“virtualmin” command doesn’t get created (side effect of the WebminCore module loading problem during deb package postinstall)

Am I missing anything?

Joe · July 12, 2017, 10:26pm

OK, I’ve sorted out one of the remaining problems, but it’s gonna take a Webmin update to fix it. I’m waiting on Jamie for that, but should happen sometime in the next day or so. Debian ships with a new version of Perl that changes the default library path, which leads to some Webmin commands not working (without a one-line tweak).

That explains the WebminCore library loading issues that has been reported, and also explains the missing virtualmin CLI command (because it’s generated in a postinstall function, which aren’t running due to the Perl upgrade). So, that’ll be fixed shortly.

The other remaining issue is the Firewall vs. Firewalld thing. I haven’t sorted that one yet, but will soon.

In the meantime, the only really important thing is the firewall that doesn’t allow access to Webmin. There’s a workaround discussed above, and here it is again, so you don’t have to go search for it (run this command as root):


# /usr/share/webmin/virtual-server/config-system.pl --include Firewalld

There are likely to be errors when running this, because there’s probably already some rules in the firewall. They look like this:


Warning: ALREADY_ENABLED: 'submission:tcp' already in 'public'

Those errors are completely harmless and can/should be ignored.

Joe · July 12, 2017, 10:40pm

OK, Firewalld problem also figured out. I need to roll a new virtualmin-config package (that’s what provides the virtualmin config-system command and does the configuration of all of the services). That’ll be out tonight or tomorrow morning.

I think that’ll wrap up every issue I know about on Debian 9. But, there’s probably some other subtle stuff with the resulting system that I don’t know about yet.

Result: after following the steps recomended by you, i could get in.

But this line is quite strange to finish the install.sh, no?

./install.sh: 15: kill: Illegal number: 9019 2290 2670 2688 2706 2733 2768 2801 2831 3173 3542 3617 5471 5844 4464 9000

I hope this helps.

Ps. distro used is Debian 9-64bits

btw - this was the clocksource error. I did another install on a fresh minimal install Debian 8 upgraded to 9 OpenVZ server. Obviously, the ntpdate part of the error is due to OpenVZ.
