Webmin works Virtualmin not accessible

Hi, We have a server we've just upgraded, but the problem is that we can log in to the web GUI but only Webmin show. No Virtualmin access.

Operating system Ubuntu Linux 10.04.4 Webmin version 1.730

It has worked fine until update?

Hi,

Did you by chance change the theme? If you change the theme away from the Virtualmin one, you'll get more of a Webmin-only experience.

It could be the theme, but I only have

Old Webmin Theme Gray Framed Theme Gray Framed Theme Caldera Theme Mxc. linux Theme

And I have tried them all. No luck.

Update Ive exported the Wirtualmib Framed Theme from other server, and installed. But this didn't help.

Howdy,

Well, it's odd that the theme would no longer be there... I'm curious what output this shows:

dpkg -l 'webmin*'

That will show what Webmin/Virtualmin related packages are installed on your system.

Howdy,

Hmm, it doesn't actually appear that Virtualmin or any of the Virtualmin packages are installed at the moment.

Are all your other services working properly at the moment, it's just that Virtualmin isn't accessible?

And can you think of any other packages that may have been removed recently?

Lastly, what is the output of this command:

ls /etc/webmin/virtual-server/domains

All services seems to run fine. Only backup are not working which is not good.

Is it possible to reinstall virtualmin without harming the virtualservers ?

Thu, 01/15/2015 - 17:05
andreychek

Howdy,

It looks like your Virtualmin config is still in-tact.

It may be as simple as just reinstalling all the Virtualmin-related packages.

Before doing anything else, I would suggest making a backup of your entire /etc directory.

Once you do that, try running this command on the command line as root:

apt-get install webmin-virtual-server webmin-virtual-server-theme webmin-virtualmin-awstats webmin-virtualmin-htpasswd webmin-virtualmin-svn

Then, run this command:

/etc/init.d/webmin restart

After doing that, you may then need to set the Webmin theme to use the Virtualmin Framed Theme.

Upon doing that, does Virtualmin begin working as expected?

Thx. When I run the apt-get install webmin-----

I get this : Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package webmin-virtual-server is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package webmin-virtual-server has no installation candidate

I have checked the sources.list and it seems fine, or I can not see what is missing.

Howdy,

Hmm, what output do you receive when running an "apt-get update"?

One thought that comes to mind is that if that particular Virtualmin license key is no longer valid (ie, if it expired), that could prevent it from being able to access the repository and reinstall it (note though that this wouldn't be the cause of it being uninstalled, Virtualmin never disables working features or uninstalls itself).

The license should be valid according to my account here until 06-12-2015.

Apt-get install webmin says :

sudo apt-get install webmin Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done webmin is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

Ive tried to update to Ubuntu version 12 lts and it didnt change anything but diasble the virtualmin line in soucres.list . I have reactivated this and tried the

apt-get install webmin-virtual-server webmin-virtual-server-theme webmin-virtualmin-awstats webmin-virtualmin-htpasswd webmin-virtualmin-svn

agian.

Still comes with the missing candidate error E: Package 'webmin-virtual-server' has no installation candidate E: Package 'webmin-virtual-server-theme' has no installation candidate E: Package 'webmin-virtualmin-awstats' has no installation candidate E: Package 'webmin-virtualmin-htpasswd' has no installation candidate E: Package 'webmin-virtualmin-svn' has no installation candidate

I don't see the virtualmin-universal repo in that repo list. That's where everything Virtualmin related lives, except a couple of binary packages that are specific to that version of Ubuntu.

Okay, your distro is good -- so I think we just need to add the universal repository to apt.

You can do that by editing your sources.list file, and add this line to it:

deb http://xxxx:xxxxx@software.virtualmin.com/ubuntu/ virtualmin-universal main

It dosent change much? When I run the apt-get install webmin-virtual-server webmin-virtual-server-theme webmin-virtualmin-awstats webmin-virtualmin-htpasswd webmin-virtualmin-svn

I still get the missing candidate error.

Tue, 01/20/2015 - 11:00

Howdy,

Did you by chance run "apt-get update" first? That would need to be run prior to the install, to get apt to notice the change to your sources.list.
