very stupid question

<div class='quote'>If I go to webmin &gt; Webmin Configuration &gt; Upgrade Webmin</div>

This is unnecessary, and not recommended, on a Virtualmin system that has been installed with our install script. (It's usually not harmful to upgrade from Webmin.com, but new versions are sometimes released a few days earlier than we intend for them to be in use with Virtualmin systems. We roll them into the Virtualmin.com repositories when all of the packages are synched. It's always a good idea to run the latest of everything from Virtualmin.com.)

To update a Virtualmin system use the Virtualmin Package Updates module. When you login to your system you should see either a line that says &quot;Package updates All Virtualmin packages are up to date.&quot; or a section with a table listing all of the available updates and a button to click to install them. Both appear in the System Information page.

If you don't see either of those, then you either don't have the Virtualmin Package Updates module installed (seems unlikely--it's been around, and a default part of the install, for over a year now) or you don't have it enabled in your System Information page (&quot;Configure this page&quot; and turn it on).

The available packages list is checked periodically with a cronjob--so if you've turned off the automated data gathering (or set it up to run less often), you may have old data. You can force the Package Updates module to update its information at any time...browse to it, and click Refresh Available Packages.
