Hi I have tried to install the virtualmin software on our new installation of FC7 and keep getting an error. In the logs it is trying to access the repomod.xml file from http://software.virtualmin.com/fedora/7/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404:. I have checked this location and there are very few folders and files in there and repodata is not one of them. Will you be updating this or how can i get the install.sh file to point to he FC6 folders instead, or do i have to install FC6 instead.
Is there anyway of modifying this oschooser.pl file it downloads as part of the install script?
Output of Install.sh during install
WARNING: This is an Early Adopter release.
The installation is quite stable and functional when run on a freshly installed supported Operating System, but upgrades from Virtualmin GPL systems, or systems that already have Apache VirtualHost directives or mail users, will very likely run into numerous problems. Please read the Virtualmin and Early Adopter FAQs before proceeding if your system is not a freshly installed and supported OS.
The systems currently supported by our install.sh are: Fedora Core 3-6 on i386 and x86_64 CentOS and RHEL 3-5 on i386 and x86_64 OpenSUSE 10.0 on i586 and x86_64 Mandriva 2007 on i386 Debian 3.1 and 4.0 on i386 and amd64 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on i386 and amd64
If your OS is not listed above, this script will fail (and attempting to run it on an unsupported OS is not recommended, or...supported).

Hey Darren,
Forcing it to use FC6 repositories won't do any good. Every OS version has custom binaries specifically built for it. Fedora 7 support is mostly finished...I'll try to wrap it up today.
If you were to reinstall your OS (I'm not saying you should or need to...but if you were to do so), I'd recommend CentOS 5 instead of Fedora. Fedoras lifecycle is just too short for a server.

I also meant to say we are using 64bit version as well. I see you have the repodata folder in the i386 folder already, but not in the 64 bit one?
Hi Joe
when will you get this finished for as we are based in Finland, its 11:45 here right now and I have tried again. The CentOs5 option is looking like an alternative as we need ot have a website up and running on this box before th eend of July. I am downloading that today.

I too am using FC7. I just bought VM50 and before I proceed, is there an FC 7 release coming soon? I just downloaded from the serials page and received the above warning.
I have used cent in the past and in my experience, it was very sluggish and lackluster.
Yes, no, maybe? I do not want to sound rude, but I only have 60 days to learn and decide if we want to keep this software and I have burned 2 days now without it being installed. Just a heads-up would be nice.
Thank you.
Howdy guys,
Sorry for the slow reply. Fedora 7 isn't currently supported, but I'm working on it. It's not a huge ordeal, so I'm hoping to have it finished soon (but OS support always takes longer than I expect it to).

Thank you for the reply.
Is there a list FC7 users can get on or will you post here when a new FC7 download will be ready? Also, do you have an ETA, so we can base our decision on?
Thank you.
I will post about it in the News forum (I know individual forums can't be subscribed to yet...I'm working on it) when it becomes available. I can't put any ETA on things. Whenever I do, it turns out wrong, and it ticks people off. ;-)
It will be soon, though. It's getting very close, and if I can just find one solid four hour block of uninterrupted work on it, it'll probably wrap up nicely. (Building and testing OS support is extremely time-consuming, and requires large blocks of uninterrupted time to be productive.)
