I am trying to install on a fresh Cent OS installation using the install script. So far it has gone like this:
Welcome to the Virtualmin GPL installer, version 1.0.3 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 Professional, 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 4.0 and 5.0 on i386 and amd64 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on i386 and amd64 If your OS is not listed above, this script will fail.

I got the script thus: wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
The OS install was done by my ISP and apache seems to be running (& installed as part of the CentOS install. Is this an issue?
Finally, what is my primary network interface? I am running through a terminal session to the server, logged in as root on a Mac.
Hmm, what output do you get if you type this command on your server:
ifconfig
It sounds like it's not figuring out what your network device is, the ifconfig output might offer some clues as to why.

Eric - ifconfig returns the following (which means not a lot to a newbie like me!!)

I do recognise my IP adresses tho....

So, it looks like venet0:0 is probably your primary network interface. Try entering that when install.sh asks for the interface name.
I'll try to figure out a way to detect this sort of thing in the future.

Actually...maybe venet0, but then it'll require some tweaks after installation to the Virtualmin configuration. That's kinda wonky, actually. ;-)

Hi Joe and thanks.
Just to let you know, when I re-tried the install picked up the previous qualified domain name, but didn't ask about a primary network interface. It installed with a few warnings, but when I asked virtualmin to check the configuration it complained at that point.
I guessed this would be where I needed to tweak and managed to find this in the forum: http://www.virtualmin.com/forums/limit/10/limitstart/0/help-home-for-new...
I put 'venet0' in the network settings for virtual address and set the default IP to my primary IP. All fine for now.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the update.
Yeah, install.sh doesn't ask any questions if you already have a fully qualified domain name.

Yeah, that's a dumb bug. Fixing now.

Hallo, I just had such a problem.
I chose venet0:0 and it seems to be working
One problem is that the default adress ist wrong, shows up when I try to login without httpS.
This web server is running in SSL mode. Try the URL https://XX-XX-XX-XX:10000/ instead.
Like the ip but with "-" delimiters. But I don't remember where to change this option.
If you go into System Settings -> Virtualmin Configuration -> Server Settings, set the option named "Virtualmin URL for use in email messages". Although it says "email messages", I believe setting that URL may fix what you're seeing there.
