rhel5 install failing: repomd.xml not found

I am trying to load the GPL version of virtualmin on a new install of RHEL5.1. I just retrieved the install.sh file from this site and attempted to run it to complete the install. The script does not complete but fails with a Fatal Error. Looking at the log I see this:

"http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/rhel/5client/i386/repodata/repomd.xml HTTP Error 404: File not found Trying other mirror Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: virtualmin"

Should I not be able to retrieve this file? If not, what should I do??

Hmm, something about the way it's detecting your OS version is causing problems.

What are the contents of your /etc/issue and /etc/redhat-release files?

Well, I don't know what the difference between RHEL Server and RHEL Client are.

However, it would appear that the repository is setup to work with just RHEL Server :-)

If you're interested in seeing if RHEL Client can be coaxed to work -- you might try changing the "client" in those two files to be "server", and then re-attempt the Virtualmin installation.
