Hello , I'm trying to install Virtualmin on the latest Amazon Linux AMI (Amazon Linux AMI 2014.09.2 (HVM) - ami-146e2a7c), but I get a fatal error:

Looks like our repository wasn't updated to support that version - give it another try now.

Hello Jamie,

Now it starts the installation, but I get another error:

The problem here may be that the Perl version supplied by Amazon can't run our IO::Tty module package.

Which Perl version do you have there? The rpm -q perl command will show it.

Hi Jamie, here is the version:

[ec2-user@ip-172-30-0-65 ~]$ rpm -q perl
perl-5.16.3-283.37.amzn1.x86_64
[ec2-user@ip-172-30-0-65 ~]$

I'll try to re-produce this - which specific AMI did you create this EC2 instance from?

Submitted by JamieCameron on Sun, 03/01/2015 - 18:38

Ok, I did some testing on Amazon Linux 2014.09.2 from the AMI ami-0e82c666 , and even after getting past this IO::Tty package issue I ran into other issues with the httpd24 package. You may be better off trying to install on a more supported distribution, like CentOS 7.

Ok Jamie, thank you.

I was using Amazon Linux for its price, but I just saw that centos.org also has AWS Images available for the the same price.

I'll use centos then, thank you.

Hi Jamie,

I've tried with Centos 7, and I got another problem.

Installed perl with # yum install perl Success, and then run the install script:

I used this AMI, from centos.org.

Can you check it please? Thanks

Could you download the install.sh again, and then re-attempt the CentOS 7 install?

We had made a change related to php-imap recently, which seems to be causing a problem. I modified the installer to not attempt to install that, which should resolve the issue.

Hi Jamie,

It worked, Thank you very much

Unfortunately, at this time, we'd suggest using CentOS rather than Amazon Linux.

It should be possible to use CentOS on the cheapest of the Amazon instances, whereas before only Amazon Linux ran on the cheapest ones.
