Problem upgrading to Virtualmin Pro

Submitted by gordon on Sun, 03/15/2015 - 07:09 Pro Licensee

I have an existing Virtualmin GPL system and have just purchased a licence. When I tried to upgrade to virtualmin pro from within virtualmin I am getting the following error; Failed to upgrade to Virtualmin Pro : Virtualmin has been installed from an RPM, but not using the Virtualmin GPL repository. Upgrading is not possible at this time.

I am running centos 6.6, and virtualmin 4.13gpl and when I built the virtualmin server initially I used the install.sh script.

Please confirm how I can resolve this?

Howdy -- thanks for buying a Virtualmin Pro license! We're happy to help you figure out what's going on there.

Let's start with these two things -- if you run "ls /etc/yum.repos.d", do you see a virtualmin.repo file? If so, what is the contents of that file?

And second, what is the output of this command:

rpm -qa | grep wbm

Thank you,

ls /etc/yum.repos.d gives me the standard repos, no virtualmin repo file

rpm -qa | grep wbm gives me wbm-virtual-server-4.13.gpl-2.noarch wbm-virtualmin-mailman-6.3-1.noarch wbm-virtualmin-init-2.5-1.noarch wbm-virtualmin-svn-5.1-1.noarch wbm-ruby-gems-1.4-1.noarch wbm-virtualmin-dav-3.7-1.noarch wbm-virtualmin-registrar-2.2-1.noarch wbm-virtualmin-htpasswd-2.6-1.noarch wbm-virtualmin-awstats-5.1-1.noarch wbm-security-updates-4.5-1.noarch wbm-php-pear-1.5-1.noarch

Ah, I think that's the trouble -- for some reason your virtualmin.repo file is missing. That's installed when the install.sh runs, something may have happened to that afterwards.

We can re-create that though.

What you'd want to do is make a new file named /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualmin.repo, and give it the following contents:

[virtualmin]
name=RHEL/CentOS/Scientific $releasever - $basearch - Virtualmin
baseurl=http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/rhel/$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin
gpgcheck=1

[virtualmin-universal]
name=Virtualmin Distribution Neutral Packages
baseurl=http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/universal/
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin
gpgcheck=1

After re-creating the virtualmin.repo file, are you then able to upgrade to Virtualmin Pro?
