duplicate webmin and virtualmin install leaves only webmin on port 10000

A friend has a ubuntu 10.04.4 vps and wants to use virtualmin. I've used it and installed it before so I offered to do the install. I didn't know that he had previously installed webmin. I used the install script, which ran uneventfully and gave no errors. Then when I try to loh in on port 10000 I get webmin. I have considered uninstalling webmin but it seems this would cripple or destroy virtualmin.

Any advice or experience on this?

Howdy,

Well, Virtualmin is a Webmin module, so removing Webmin would indeed prevent Virtualmin from working.

If you've installed Virtualmin, but you're only seeing Webmin when you log into port 10000 -- you could try changing the Webmin theme to use the "Virtualmin Framed Theme".

You can do that in Webmin -> Change Language and Theme.

I have old webmin theme (default), blue framed theme, caldera theme and msc.linux theme. I've tried all and get webmin 1.580 everywhere.

Should I rerun the install.sh?

Well, that's unusual.

What's the output of this command:

dpkg -l 'webmin*'

Something is definitely odd there :-)

It's not actually showing the various Virtualmin related packages as being installed.

For example, there should be packages with names such as webmin-virtual-server, webmin-virtual-server-theme, webmin-virtualmin-awstats, webmin-virtualmin-dav, and a number of others -- those aren't installed there.

So, you may want to give that install.sh script another shot, and see if it works properly this time... if not, can you attach the file /root/virtualmin-install.log? Thanks!

I'll rerun install.sh then let you know what develops.

Well, that looks a little better now -- the correct Virtualmin packages are installed.

Are you still having problems, or is it working for you?

Howdy,

Webmin doesn't actually run on Apache, it has it's own internal web server.

You may want to try restarting Webmin itself, which you can do with this command:

/etc/init.d/webmin restart

Also, do you see the Virtualmin Framed Theme available to you now within Webmin?

That's most unusual!

It's almost as if you're installation isn't having any effect on what's there now.

Which gives me an idea -- what output do you get from this command:

ps auxw | grep miniserv

I wonder if maybe the existing Webmin package is installed in a custom location, causing it to override your attempt to run the installer.
