Hi
I'm very nervous about posting this, so if I've been an absolute dummy please be gentle!
Running Centos5.1. Clean install this weekend (low level format etc), used the same Centos DVD that I've used before, with which there were no probs with the Vitualmin GPL install.sh script (brilliant btw!). CentOS installed in linux text mode with just the 'Server' option starred (have to use the acpi=off switch as well otherwise it just hangs).
I can wget the install script, run it just fine from either putty or console (2 comps). No errors during the install.
My problem is I cant connect to webmin/virtualmin without 'turning off' iptables. The rules just don't seem to be being written as they were before.
With iptables disabled I can connect just fine.
This isn't my first install of Virtualmin, both using the script or config'd by hand (that was a learning curve!) but I've never come across this problem before.
The reason I'm nervous....is this a bug in something??
Damn fine proggy though! Thanks Joe

Yes, you're probbaly being bitten by the same stupid bug that popped up in virtualmin-base on most platforms over the past few days. Should be fixed now. I hope.
Try this:
rpm -e virtualmin-base
yum install virtualmin-base
This is, of course, assuming, you haven't actually put anything into service yet. This should never be run on a production machine, as there is potential for breakage.

Hi Joe
Well, was just going to bed but thought I'd have a go!
Only two errors I think
Starting saslauthd: saslauthd[16064] :detach_tty : Cannot start saslauthd
saslauthd[16064] :detach_tty : Another instance of saslauthd is currently r unning
[FAILED]
and
convertquota: Quota file not found or has wrong format.
convertquota: Can't open old format file for users on /

Complete!
But firewall from that looks to be top banana!
You really are a genius!
Thank you very much.
Just so I know where I am, if I reinstall CentOS again and use the install.sh everything will be as above yes? (since I knew it wasn't working correctly I haven't actually put any backups on there yet)
Thanks again
Balders
That does indeed look "top banana"! The two errors you see are expected and harmless...one because saslauthd was already running from previous install, and the second because the quota stuff on Linux just always says stupid things, even when they're working fine. ;-)
