I am trying to install Virtualmin via the sh script on a Fedora 15 testbed. But it seems like virtualmins server serves a html file instead of the requested RPM:
Welcome to the Virtualmin GPL installer, version 1.0.5 WARNING: The installation is quite stable and functional when run on a freshly installed supported Operating System, but upgrades from existing .wbm- based systems, or systems that already have Apache VirtualHost directives or mail users, will very likely run into numerous problems. Please read the Virtualmin Administrators Guide before proceeding if your system is not a freshly installed and supported OS. This script is not intended to update your system! It should only be used to install Virtualmin, on a supported OS. If you have previously installed Virtualmin via this script or the GPL version of this script, upgrades and updates should be handled within Virtualmin itself. Once Virtualmin is installed, you never need to run this script again. The systems currently supported by install.sh are: CentOS 4 and 5 on i386 and x86_64 Debian 5.0 and 6.0 on i386 and amd64 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and 10.04 LTS on i386 and amd64 If your OS is not listed above, this script will fail. More details about the systems supported by the script can be found here: http://www.virtualmin.com/os-support.html Continue?

Howdy,
Well, note the list of supported operating systems listed near the top of that script output... unfortunately, Fedora isn't one of them :-)
You can see the full list of supported distros here:
http://www.virtualmin.com/os-support.html
Fedora is a bit too much of a moving target to support as a viable server operating system. If you're interested in using an RPM-based distro, you might consider CentOS. CentOS 6 should be coming out soon, but even sooner than that, Virtualmin should be supporting Scientific Linux 6 (which is already out, and just needs to have the installer tweaked a bit to support it).
