Perl error after the update webmin from 1.795 to 1.800

Hello since update "webmin from 1.795 to 1.800" today, the landing page (/?virtualmin) shows after the login an "running circle" (picture below). Minutes later there cames onetime an perl error (unfortunateli can not remember).

Also i receive this mail-notification: Can't locate auto/Net/SSLeay/set_tlsext_.al in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/share/webmin /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl . ..) at ../web-lib-funcs.pl line 7350 ...propagated at http-monitor.pl line 67.

Do you have any hints? best regards Adriano

Same issue on all 4 of my servers and now in Cloudmin > List Managed Servers, it shows Webmin down on ALL VMs and won't let me do anything with them.

Had the same issue, had to update the Net::SSLeay to version 1.45 > (currently 1.74) used cpan > install Net::SSLeay on CentOS

Hope it helps

I have it installed already.

perl-Crypt-SSLeay.x86_64                      0.57-17.el6                       @anaconda-CentOS-201508042137.x86_64/6.7
perl-Net-SSLeay.x86_64                        1.35-10.el6                       @base                                   

Trying to use can failed miserably.

UPDATE: FIX BELOW (WILL BE PUSHED OUT SOON)

Had the exact same issue but the tip from CollinSchwagele worked:

Login > Webmin > Other > Perl Modules > Install from Cpan > Net::SSLeay

'Always install latest version from source'

Module name Net::SSLeay 1.74
Source http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/M/MI/MIKEM/Net-SSLeay-1.74.tar.gz
Pre-requisites Test::More MIME::Base64 ExtUtils::MakeMaker (All installed)

Then select 'Continue with Install'

After successful install I then restarted Webmin (System > Bootup & Shut down) have also now upgraded Authentic Theme to latest 18.00

Thanks for the tip, hope this helps others (it seems to have 'fixed' the Cloudmin List Systems (All Virtualmin down) issue too :)

We're not quite sure why this issue is occurring yet, but thanks for the tip that installing a newer Net::SSLeay helped!

We certainly don't want everyone to have to do that, but if anyone is seeing that issue, you could always try that as a temporary workaround until we resolve it.

This doesn't work, since there is no C Compiler on my Servers - any other solution ?

Yeah we'll be figuring out a fix for this, though I don't have one at the moment.

A temporary workaround, is that it might function if you disable the Authentic theme. I also hear some folks disabled the automatic update in the Authentic theme.

Many thanks, just updated 3 boxes and it seems good to go, it's Working For Me :)

Webmin 1.801 which is just about to be released will fix this properly.

Get errors during installation: Net..SSLeay v1.74 ... make: *** [SSLeay.o] Error 1

Finaly update to Webmin 1.801 and Authentic Theme 18.00 has solved the issue

Glad to hear that's working!

Just to clarify though, the only update needed is Webmin 1.801, which contains the Authentic security fix as well as the Net::SSLeay bugfix.

Updating to Authentic 18.00 isn't necessary to fix either issue, though it does seem to contain some nice performance gains :-)

We're currently testing 18.00, and are planning to include that in the next Webmin release.

Today's Webmin upgrade appears to have fixed this per my experience on two Centos v 6.8 VPS.
