I have Virtualmin 3.59 running on Webmin 1.510 and I'd like to update Virtualmin.
I tried the command line
yum install virtualmin
and got the result

virtualmin 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00
not using ftp, http[s], or file for repos, skipping - 4ES is not a valid release or hasnt been released yet
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: update
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: update
My /etc/yum/yum.repos.d/virtualmin.repo is

I'm not familiar with yum, using RPM usually. Can you help?

Hi Oliver,
What other repositories are setup on your server? It's possible one of the other repositories is causing trouble. You can determine that by running the following:
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/Seeing what .repo files are in that dir should give us some clues.
Also, you may want to look at this URL to verify that your license and serial number are still valid:
http://virtualmin.com/serial/
As an aside, I'm glad you're looking to upgrade, as that Virtualmin version is a bit on the older side! :-)

The serial number's valid thanks. In /etc/yum.repos.d/, I have two other files:
[custuser@eul0001189 ~]$ ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ CentOS-Base.repo pgdg-84-redhat.repo virtualmin.repo
[custuser@eul0001189 ~]$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
CentOS-Base.repo#
This file uses a new mirrorlist system developed by Lance Davis for CentOS. The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates unless you are manually picking other mirrors.#
If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the remarked out baseurl= line instead.# #

Hrm, I wonder if that CentOS repository is causing you troubles. While CentOS and RHEL have their similarities, having the actual CentOS repository in there may be causing trouble.
Try just renaming the CentOS repo file using something like this:
mv /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo.origAnd then see if that yum command works for you.

That worked, thanks!
