Install error on CentOS 5 / poss firewall probs

Hi,

I'm trying to install Virtualmin Pro on CentOS 5 (x86_64, installed with "Server and GUI" and GNOME options, and also opted to install emacs and java. After the installation, I also installed apcupsd for UPS monitoring. Otherwise it's a standard installation).

I should state from the outset that I'm inside a university network behind a firewall -- we have a proxy with authentication that I have to go through to get out onto the net for http/https/ftp. Some ports are open -- I can ssh out through the firewall, for example, and I can serve http/https/ftp to the outside world. I know this sounds weird, but we've got our server sitting in an office; it's on a regular staff office subnet, not on a server subnet. Anyway, thought I should mention this, because I expect this will give me problems. Not sure if it's causing the current problem though...

I tried running the install script, and it started spitting out errors right away. I have already searched the forum, and saw someone who reported a similar problem. In that case, as best I could tell, it was a matter of the serial and key not being in the install file correctly. I have checked mine against what's listed on my account on the serials page, and they're correct.

Here's my attempt at running the script: [root@elephant virtualmin]# /bin/sh install.sh

Welcome to the Virtualmin Professional installer, version EA4.2

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 existing .wbm- based 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.

This script is not intended to update your system. It should only be used to install Virtualmin Professional, or to upgrade a Virtualmin GPL system that was installed manually via .wbm packages. If you have previously installed Virtualmin via this script or the GPL version of this script, upgrades and updates should be handled within Virtualmin only.

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. The recommended operating systems for Virtualmin Professional, and more details about them, can be found here:

[root@elephant virtualmin]#

Any ideas? Also, any ideas on how I can avoid major problems regarding the proxy issues? I have http_proxy, https_proxy and ftp_proxy environment variables defined as: http://user:pass@proxy.server:port

Not sure if that's the correct format, or if it will even help in any way.

Thanks! Johannes.
