Virtualmin downgrade problem

Virtualmin
1

Hi team

I Have Rocky linux 9.6 and All installed packages are up to date

Webmin version 2.303
Virtualmin version 7.30.8 Pro (but GPL version is already installed! see below please)

I try to downgrade virtualmin to GPL version, but I cant.

I try with virtualmin downgrade-licence --downgrade
and virtualmin downgrade-licence --perform

y try with dnf reinstall webmin webmin-virtual-server and dnf reinstall webmin virtualmin-gpl

I try all without errors

But, with virtualmin downgrade-license --perform I get “GPL version is already installed!”

but my system continue in ReadOnly Mode (Of course, I reboot server, etc, etc ).

How can I downgrade virtualmin??

Thanks

This can’t do anything, there is no such package (the package is named wbm-virtual-server).

This also can’t do anything. That’s not a valid argument.

That’s correct, as documented here:

I’m not sure why that wouldn’t work, though.

You can force installation of a specific version of the package, though.

Do this:

dnf list --showduplicates wbm-virtual-server

And, assuming you see a gpl version of the package, install it explicitly:

dnf install wbm-virtual-server-7.30.8.gpl-1

At least, I think/hope that’ll do it, it may fight because of the Epoch…

Apache … Not installed
Postfix error
Bind DNS error
Php-Fpm 8.3 error

I use virtualmin tools and fix all errors…

None of those services are related to the Virtualmin virtual-server package. Virtualmin is just the GUI, it doesn’t contain any of the services it manages (Apache, Postifx, etc., those are all independent things and merely installing or upgrading Virtualmin virtual-server module cannot affect them). So, whatever was wrong was not related to the package version (and read-only mode is only about the GUI, has nothing to do with the services, we would never shut down your services/websites over a license issue).

I think the world just doesn’t want you to downgrade to GPL!

I see, but virtrtualmin gave me links to install it.
To resolve postfix problem I use the forum.
