Because the install script is for a new box without VM/WB -- if you run the install script again it will delete all your VM domains and settings but hey go for it -- only way to learn is by screwing up...

I ran

rpm -qa| grep webmin

Runs webmin-1.420-1

rpm -qa| grep wbm-virtual-server

Gives no result, (short delays followed by the command prompt) sure that's the right command?

Stop Webmin etc... and there was nothing left running Webmin wise.

Did realise Virtualmin has apparently not been updating.

From the System Info page-

Operating system CentOS Linux 5.2
Webmin version 1.420
Virtualmin version 3.53.gpl (GPL)

Looks like it either stopped updating at 3.53 or it was setup incorrectly in the first place (I didn't set it up).

I've tried running

yum update virtualmin

but it doesn't find anything to update-

Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* epel: fedora.mirror.facebook.com
* virtualmin: software.virtualmin.com
* virtualmin-universal: software.virtualmin.com
* updates: mirror.chpc.utah.edu
* base: ftp.telus.net
* addons: pubmirrors.reflected.net
* extras: mirrors.bluehost.com
Setting up Update Process
Could not find update match for virtualmin
No Packages marked for Update

I'm guessing the lack of updating Virtualmin is the issue here.

What am I doing wrong?

Just had a quick word with the person who set up the server and if I understand correctly he thinks you can't automatically update Virtualmin and so didn't setup yum for virtualmin.

How do you update virtualmin? The exact command would be great :)

Download from http://download.webmin.com/download/virtualmin/wbm-virtual-server-3.59.gpl-1.noarch.rpm

Then rpm -iUhv wbm-virtual-server-3.59.gpl-1.noarch.rpm

Tried the above and got-

rpm -iUhv wbm-virtual-server-3.59.gpl-1.noarch.rpm

error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping wbm-virtual-server-3.59.gpl-1

Does this mean 3.59 is installed, but virtualmin is reporting the version as 3.53.gpl (what I see on the services info page)?

Using the Virtualmin upgrade page (which I can access through a link to "Virtualmin packages" despite the menu error) I can select wbm-virtual-server-3.59.gpl-1.noarch to install (listed as a new install as "wbm-virtual-server" not as an update).

The result-

Installed: wbm-virtual-server.noarch 0:3.59.gpl-1
Complete!

Vitualmin says it's running version 3.53, but when I try to update to 3.59 says already installed.

Any idea what's gone wrong here?

Fortunately the domains installed on the server work fine, but I can't do anything new (new domains, working with databases etc...) until this menu issue is resolved.

rpm -qa |grep virtual-server

what does that give you

When I run that command I get-

wbt-virtual-server-mobile-1.6-1
wbt-virtual-server-theme-6.0-1
ust-virtual-server-theme-6.0-1

Appreciate the help.

Ok so you must have installed the GPL from a tarball then ? Do you remember if you did?

If you installed by the rpm then do "rpm -iUhv --force --nodeps wbm-virtual-server-3.59.gpl-1.noarch.rpm"

If you installed by tarball then download "http://download.webmin.com/download/virtualmin/virtual-server-3.59.gpl.wbm.gz" and install from that.

Opps forgot -- if you did install by tarball you will need to install it through the webmin modules upgrade using that local file.
