I have 2 same SliceHost VPS, both Clean CentOS5 installed. One month ago, I have installed Virtualmin using install.sh for one of my VPS and completed :)
Now I am trying to install Virtualmin for another VPS using install.sh too, but install hangs.

-Enabling quotas on filesystem for /home
This "Enabling quotas" hanging for hours... Are there any script change on install.sh recentry? I have completed setup one month ago, so I wonder why install fails now.
install.sh doesn't really do much that could cause problems. virtualmin-base is where all the hard work occurs, and it has changed a few times in the past couple of months. I haven't seen any bug reports, however.
The daily-*.cdiff stuff is harmless. It's just clamav trying and failing to update its database. Next run of freshclam will fix it. And the chcon messages are also harmless...just an selinux complaint, though I should look into my awstats package to make sure it's setting the contexts correctly for all files.
I'm guessing maybe remounting disks is freaking out because it is a virtualized system. Is there anything else interesting in the last few lines of virtualmin-install.log?
Note that the quotas enabling stage of the installation is actually at the very end...if it made it that far, your system is probably ready for work. Quotas may have failed to work (quotas on VPS systems are often trickier than usual, because the quotas may need to be enabled a level higher than Virtualmin has access to), but everything else should be fine.

Check out the forum guidelines!
Thank you for your advice. After hang in quota, I shut down install.sh using ctrl+c, but virtualmin seems fine.
Is there any way to skip quota during install? I don't want to such a error-end.
I'll see about adding a timeout for all individual stages of the installer, so that if anything takes more than a few minutes, it'll issue a warning and skip that step. Each configuration step is already within an eval section, so a failure doesn't halt operation or result in a "failed" message at the end of the process...but if it never fails, it's a bit of a problem. ;-)

Yes. I think it is good solution to solve this issue, and will be important for VPS user. Thanks! :D
Hi Joe,
Had this even been implemented? Virtualmin installation script stuck at the following point for me:
root@ns1:/root#
./install.sh
Welcome to the Virtualmin GPL installer, version 1.0.9
WARNING:
The installation is quite stable and functional when run on a freshly
installed supported Operating System.
If you have existing websites, email users, or if you manually installed
Virtualmin via a Webmin 'wbm' module, you are likely to run into 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 perform your initial Virtualmin installation. If you have previously
run the Virtualmin installer, you can perform upgrades and updates from within
Virtualmin itself, or using your system's package manager. Once Virtualmin is
installed, you never need to run this script again.
The systems currently supported by install.sh are:
CentOS and RHEL 5-6 on i386 and x86_64
Scientific Linux 6 on i386 and x86_64
Debian 6.0 on i386 and amd64
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and 10.04 LTS, and 12.04 LTS on i386 and amd64
Amazon Linux 2012.03 on i386 and x86_64
FreeBSD 7.0 and 8 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:

Having waited for quite too long I decided to follow Eric's advice on http://www.virtualmin.com/node/16254#comment-71963 and after re-checking configuration got:
Checking Configuration

By the way, the last lines of my 'virtualmin-install.log' are:

And there is no more lines. Please give me your verdict: am I ok just to start using this system as Virtualmin interface doesn't show any suspicious messages except this part of above posted message:
Quotas are not enabled on the filesystem /home which contains home directories under /home and email files under /home. Quota editing has been disabled.
Shell /bin/false for FTP users is not included in /etc/shells, which may prevent FTP access.
Or is it screwed up system and it is better to get it re-installed? The problem is that the server is in remote data-center and to get Virtualmin re-installed I have to request OS-reinstallation.
