I installed Virtualmin on my server. It worked fine until the company that I colo my server with gave me a new range of IP address allocation.
When I logged in the control panel, I received the following warning:
"A problem was detected with your Virtualmin licence : Failed to contact licence server : Failed to lookup IP address for software.virtualmin.com"
I clicked on "Re-check License Status" and received an error message:
"Now re-checking your Virtualmin licence .. .. a problem was detected : Failed to contact licence server : Failed to lookup IP address for software.virtualmin.com"
Can somebody tell me what has happened and how to fix it?
Thanks for your help!
A few things I can think of:
1. Is your DNS working properly, the "Failed to lookup" error may mean its not.
2. Is the colo/your firewall blocking some packets for some reason?
Maybe temporarily allow all to and from software.virtualmin.com, see if that works
