But I know for a fact when webmin upgrades no existing modules from the previous version was transfered.

In fact it deleted the old version on a tarball upgrade before it copied the existing modules.

This is a webmin bug clearly.

I know I'm going to sound stupid saying the same thing again...but I just don't understand what's happening on your sytsems. I just can't reproduce this behavior, and nothing has changed in the Webmin upgrade process in several revisions.

1.400 had the referer lockdown that affected the install.sh installation process...and it also had a bug that made some BIND installations look like they weren't running, when they actually were. The former was fixed by an update to virtualmin-base, while the latter was fixed by the release of 1.401. But nothing changed in the way Webmin is upgraded.

If, as jezdez indicated, the virtualmin-base postinst script is running under some circumstances on updates, then Debian and Ubuntu systems would possibly see some configuration breakage on installation of that package (which could make the theme switch back to the blue framed theme, but wouldn't delete any modules or themes...just some configuration files might change). This wouldn't effect tarball or RPM installed systems, at all (and couldn't--tarball systems don't have a virtualmin-base, and RPM uses a completely different test to determine if the package is being upgraded or installed fresh).

Of course, if the Webmin upgrade process is the culprit, then virtualmin-base is irrelevant, and I should stop worrying over it in this thread--that's something I'll have to work with jezdez to figure out. I just can't think of how the Webmin upgrade would suddenly behave so differently on some subset of systems (the subset that is wholly contained by the subset that you manage). ;-)

It's not just mine system -- it was all my clients that updated that were affected. The big client of mine I have prevented the upgrade of webmin until I see fit.

Upgrading webmin did NOT -- I repeat DID NOT transfer any previous installed modules to the new version. I can't make this any clearer.

What happened to you, too? You need to tell us something about your system--this is not an issue I have ever seen with my own eyes, and I've never been able to reproduce it.

If I'm ever going to be able to do anything about this issue, I need to know:

What OS/version you are running

What version of Webmin you started with and what version you upgraded to

What kind of package you're using (and whether you used the same package type for the original install and the upgrade)

Where the package came from (Webmin.com, Virtualmin.com, some OS repo)

Any errors you saw during the upgrade

Without all of that, I have no clue what happened, because I've never seen it myself.

1) purchased your license today
2) upgraded modules
3) entered the license
4) installed phpmyadmin
5) installed the powerdns and mail relay module and upgraded webmin
6) logged out
7) logged back in and saw a very new look/feel which is the "old" gui so that got changed automatically, then i changed it back to the framed version.

Here are some screen shots: http://picasaweb.google.com/billyclark/WorkStuff

Even I fail to see what is broken.

You are using a theme that is NOT virtualmin aware. That has nothing to do with VM Pro missing.

No it does not. I am new to VM Pro so not sure how I would do anything outside of the default settings. I liked the framed version and would not change it so the theme was not by my choice. This accelerator is brand new and I've only logged into it about 10-15 times total. The upgrade to the 1.401, PowerDNS, Mail Relay. I think these all were tried at the same time. The only install before those is phpmyadmin. That is the extent of what I've done inside Virtualmin.

Here are some logs if they help any:

i saw this in the system logs that happened about the same time i performed the upgrade as virtualmin suggested:
