upgrade via virtualmin i/f failed for 3.75-1 upgrade causing virtualmin i/f to stop working [#12431]

Hi,

I did the following as I often do to run yum to check the updates:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: mirror.switch.ch * base: mirror.switch.ch * extras: mirror.switch.ch * updates: mirror.switch.ch

wbm-security-updates.noarch 2:3.9-1 virtualmin-universal wbm-virtual-server.noarch 2:3.75-1 virtualmin-universal

Then I upgraded via the GUI. The first updated loaded but the second did not and generated errors. Sadly, I didn't copy and paste them. Afterwards, the virtualmin interface stopped working. Doing a kill -TERM on the webmin processes and restarting did bring back the interface, But I'm not sure if things were installed cleanly.

Is there a log where I can find the error and email it to you?

Thanks! Greg

I'm not sure where the update logs are

You might take a peek at the Webmin log, in /var/webmin/miniserv.error, to make sure it's not generating any issues there.

Also, in /var/log, should be some sort of yum log that describes what's been installed lately -- it could possibly contain any errors that occurred.

However, the biggest thing I'd look for is to log into Virtualmin, and make sure that it claims to be version 3.75. I'd also do a Module Config -> Re-Check Config, and see if it all checks out okay.
