Howdy,
The installer does indeed have scponly as a dependency… however, what we did was add the old scponly package to the Virtualmin wheezy repository.
What you’re describing makes it sound like there may be a problem with that.
If you got a dependency error regarding scponly, were you installing Virtualmin GPL or Pro? And what architecture are you using, 32 or 64 bit? You can determine that by running “uname -a”.
Thanks,
-Eric
sorry about that… i forgot to mention that it is virtualmin GPL that i was installing on a 64bit wheezy OS.
SMP Debian 3.2.41-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux
i managed to get it working eventually by installing an scponly package i found (which i believe originally came from squeeze). basically installed scponly using dpkg, then install.sh worked fine from there.
I have the same issue when I try to clean install on debian 7, I attach the error message, the install script STOP with FATAL error message:

not sure if this has been fixed yet… but if you are still having issues… download latest scponly package from here:
http://glug.nith.ac.in/ubuntu/archives/pool/universe/s/scponly/
install it manually with dpkg…then run install.sh again. you should be fine then.
Hopefully Joe has that all fixed up!
But if there is still a problem, the package is available in the Virtualmin GPL repo here:
Those packages are simply the scponly packages from Debian 6.

thanks, i can confirm that the installer script is working fine now. i installed 2 new wheezy servers the last few days, and scponly is being installed off the vmin repository now.
Hi,
I’ve been having trouble installing using install.sh on Debian 7. (using up to date copies of the install file).
It fails wilth the scponly eorror as well as others, (sorry, I didn’t make a note of the other packages and now I am so far on I can’t remember what they are).
I fixed this by manually adding the repo’s my self to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian/ virtualmin-wheezy main
deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian/ virtualmin-universal main
The first fail was on a V.M. on my laptop (Acer Travelmate 7720 - 2ghz dual core with 2gig R.A.M. running OSE Virtualbox).
The second on a Dell Precision 470 (dual processor 2.4ghz 4gig R.A.M.)
In both cases manually adding the repo’s to the sources list worked, but the install didn’t work as expected, in fact is unusalble due to it giving me errors once in the G.U.I. (https://localhost:10000/) - File not found for most of the pages and when clicking on the Webmin module it appears in the left hand pane!
Any ideas what’s going wrong anyone, is it anything to do with this thread?
UPDATE!!! The last problem is now solved, I hadn’t unblocked the siye/G.U.I. in NoScript… doh!
So it seems to be working as it should now, though there’s still the problem of it not installing correctly. (I’m wondering what other similar mistakes I made whilst installing now! :-/ )
