Submitted by fbernard_secur01 on Tue, 06/04/2019 - 20:35

Hello,

Operating system CentOS Linux 7.6.1810
Webmin version 1.910
Usermin version 1.760
Authentic theme version 19.34
Kernel and CPU Linux 3.10.0-957.12.2.el7.x86_64 on x86_64

After automated udpate virtualmin stop working. When I say stop working is the tab is not visible anymore (I only see webmin and dashboard) and when I go under webmin>system>virtualmin bootup action (or any other virtualmin xxxxxx) I got message like

Require virtual-server/virtual-server-lib.pl failed : Died at (eval 100) line 1.

I try to reinstall virtualmin from script available on website but get fatal error during installation Installation of virtualmin-release failed: 22 when that try to get this : http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/rhel/7.6.1810/x86_64/virtualmin-relea...

it's important for us to get access asap because we can't anymore manage user/email/etc..

Thanks !

Hi,

You shouldn't run install script over again, in case you have setup system.

Simply run:

yum reinstall wbm-virtual-server

After automated udpate Virtualmin stop working.

What do you mean by that? What packages exactly were upgraded?

What is the output of:

yum history

..and then get the last ID and run again:

yum history info ID

Aside from mentioned options, you can use your package manager to rollback to previous state:

yum history rollback ID

However, I am sure, that the first command will reinstall your Virtualmin package properly, and solve your issue.

You definitely should not run install.sh again. It is for installation only. It won't do anything good on an existing system, and it warns several times not to do it.

You shouldn't even run yum reinstall wbm-virtual-server (though that's mostly harmless..unlike the install script, which is potentially quite bad)

But, it's not gonna solve this problem. You probably just need to restart Webmin:

# service webmin restart

Also note the issue tracker here is for Virtualmin Professional support. If you'd like to follow up further, start a thread in the forums.

Hmm, that doesn't sound like a bug you're seeing there, and we haven't pushed out a Virtualmin update in a few months now... but just to check one thing before we nudge this over to the Forums --

If you restart Webmin using the command "service webmin restart", do you see any errors or problems?

And then, what happens when trying to log in, do you see any errors or problems there?

If so, what error(s) appear in /var/webmin/miniserv.error?

Lastly -- did this following error begin occurring before the install.sh was re-run, or afterwards:

Require virtual-server/virtual-server-lib.pl failed : Died at (eval 100) line 1.

Fix by reinstalling the package. Thanks to everyone !
