Hi,

We suggest to do the following:

  1. Upgrade your Webmin to the latest 1.962
  2. Upgrade your Virtualmin to the latest 6.14
  3. Install certbot package to perform Let's Encrypt certificate requests correctly (there was a bug in the current Webmin version, which will only is going to be fixed on the future releases).

If you cannot see upgrades, when you're running yum update, then check and tweak your /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualmin.repo file to look as follows:

[virtualmin]
name=RHEL/CentOS $releasever - $basearch - Virtualmin
baseurl=http://software.virtualmin.com/vm/6/gpl/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin-6
gpgcheck=1

[virtualmin-universal]
name=Virtualmin Distribution Neutral Packages
baseurl=http://software.virtualmin.com/vm/6/gpl/universal/
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin-6
gpgcheck=1

It looks like you're using Virtualmin GPL there though, and the area here is for folks using Virtualmin Pro. It's no problem to get support on our Community Forums, which we keep an eye on as well.
