/root/virtualmin-install.log

So I suck, but I had webmin installed on my server and uninstalled it (because I thought I had to before installing Virtualmin (I want to use it to set up email accounts).

I've invested an incredible amount of time into setting up a bunch of stuff on the server and would REALLY hate to have to reinstall it (as in I might be crying myself to sleep in the fetal position for the next couple nights).

Also, I'm incredibly sorry to say I do NOT have any real knowledge about Linux, servers, or anything else (presumably if I did I could set up the emails by hand).

I AM going to read up about Linux, but I'm currently way too busy with school to teach myself how to do this. I know it's lame, but I couldn't wait until school was out to start building the website.

I'm on Centos 5.5, in Terminal I've typed

#wget wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
#sh install.sh


I then choose "y" to install and get:

First thing to do here, please enclose any console output in tags like this:

[code]Screen output[/code]

Then they are actually readable (line breaks, monospace font). ;)

Howdy,

Hrm, something unusual is definitely going on :-)

Are you on a dedicated server, or a VPS?

From the above output, it almost looks like there's either no "/root" directory, or that it isn't writable.

Are you running the installation as the root user?

If so, what output does this command produce:

ls -ld /root

Thanks,

-Eric
