Install on CentOS 5 - Issues

Hi,

I have downloaded the latest virtualmin script and have tried it on a CentOS 5.4 box. I am getting 404 file not found issues when the script tries to fetch the RPMs. Is this a known issue?

From Console:

Retrieving http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/readline-5.1-1.1.i386... error: skipping http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/readline-5.1-1.1.i386... - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error

Retrieving http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/python-2.4.3-24.el5.i... error: skipping http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/python-2.4.3-24.el5.i... - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error

And then a test shows:

[root@host ~]# wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/readline-5.1-1.1.i386... --2010-03-20 21:40:27-- http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/readline-5.1-1.1.i386... Resolving mirror.centos.org... 62.141.54.220 Connecting to mirror.centos.org|62.141.54.220|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found 2010-03-20 21:40:27 ERROR 404: Not Found.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hrm, that's a bit odd, as your system appears to be trying to download older packages that haven't existed in some months.

I'm not sure whether that's a fluke, or whether something else odd is going on :-)

My suggestion would be to try running a "yum update", and afterwards, try performing the installation again.

I had run a yum update before i attempted the installation. I am not sure whats going on.....

Forget it, I have just realised what was going on. User error, to many install scripts hanging about. Latest installer from the site is running now, fingers crossed.

Sorry about that!
