Welcome to the Virtualmin GPL installer, version 6.1.1

This script must be run on a freshly installed supported OS. It does not perform updates or upgrades (use your system package manager) or license changes (use the "virtualmin change-license" command).

The systems currently supported by install.sh are:

CentOS/RHEL Linux 6, 7, and 8 on x86_64
Debian 8, 9, and 10 on i386 and amd64
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS on i386 and amd64

If your OS/version/arch is not listed, installation will fail. More details about the systems supported by the script can be found here:

https://www.virtualmin.com/os-support

The selected package bundle is LAMP and the size of install is full. It will require up to 650 MB of disk space.

Exit and re-run this script with --help flag to see available options.

Howdy -- thanks for pointing that out! I passed this along to Joe for review.

Note that we can't recommend CentOS 6 for any new installs, as it's going to reach it's end of life in 5 months (November this year).

That means it will no longer receive updates from CentOS or Virtualmin.

We of course do still plan to resolve that issue with the install, but if at all possible I'd definitely recommend installing a newer OS.

That is odd, as I just install it successfully on CentOS 6.10.

Perhaps, you're using a very old distribution of version 6?

Submitted by andreychek on Sat, 06/06/2020 - 10:15

To see if Ilia's suggestion is the problem, try running this command to update your version of CentOS to the latest 6.x version:

yum update

After that, see if you're then able to run the Virtualmin installer.

It looks, that base, extras, updates repos are disabled for you. It doesn't seems standard.

You can enable disabled repos by running the following command:

yum-config-manager --enable base extras updates

Submitted by andreychek on Thu, 06/11/2020 - 08:48

Try Ilia's advice above, and that will hopefully resolve your issue.

In our testing, it has been working for us to install Virtualmin on CentOS 6, and we haven't been receiving other queries about that.

As it does look like your using Virtualmin GPL there, and it doesn't appear you're seeing a Virtualmin bug, you'd want to ask additional questions you have in the Forums.

We monitor the Forums, along with lots of wonderful folks in the community. Thanks!

Hi, Sorry to open this up again, but my centos 6 box is giving the same error when I try to do an update of packages from Virtualmin.

It complains that it needs a newer version of perl, but perl is at 5.10.1.

The painful details:

perl -v

We will look in to it after new Virtualmin release.

We yet don't recommend installing CentOS 6 in 2020.

Submitted by bob7123 on Fri, 07/03/2020 - 11:28

BTW It's not a new install.

If I rebuild the box it will be using 7 or maybe 8, but for now it is what it is. Obviously others think if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Hi

I have the exact same issue on a legacy server as the above people. Presume there is no simple fix?

Thanks J-P Human

I don't know when the next virtualmin release is, but I have tried again and it still doesn't work. I have no choice with my server, it only supports Centos 6, Centos 7/8 is not possible.

How come?

Submitted by gregoz on Sat, 07/11/2020 - 07:58

Its a dedicated server a Supermicro 6-b 1385. The Host Dacentec tell me Centos 7 and 8 don't work on it.

I would change the hosting company then. I personally tried Vultr, Scaleway and other happened to be great.

Submitted by gregoz on Sat, 07/11/2020 - 08:14

Problem is Vultr -as one example- is 6 times more expensive than what I am paying at Dacentec. Its not as if Centos 6 is obsolete yet.

I talked about this CentOS 6 issues with Joe. He said, that he would take a look after he's doing Virtualmin 6.10 Pro release, which is coming this weekend.

Hang on a little while please.

Can I ask why y'all are doing new installations with CentOS 6 today? It reaches end of life quite soon; it's an extremely poor choice for new installations.

I'll fix it, as soon as I figure out how. But, really, I can't recommend you install new systems with CentOS 6 this close to EOL.

Submitted by iqfx on Fri, 07/31/2020 - 04:01

This is not just a problem for new installs. This is also a problem for running installations that cannot update due to this issue.

Submitted by dreammark on Fri, 07/31/2020 - 20:33

Also running installations with CentOS 6 (not new installs). EOL is Nov 30, 2020. Still need time to migrate especially while dealing with a pandemic.

I'm working on it. But, also, existing installations don't really need updates of virtualmin-config. It is almost exclusively used during initial installation of Virtualmin to configure the system for Virtualmin. It's harmless to skip the updates. I'm sure the only changes happening in that package are to support newer distros, we won't be making C6 related changes.

I've been searching for hours for a solution to this that doesn't require having a whole separate CentOS 6 build system for just this one package...so far, no luck. I'll keep searching, but you're not missing anything= on existing systems.
