Upgrading Virtualmin GPL to Virtualmin Pro Centos bug fix

Posted by on Wednesday, 1 July, 2009

Virtualmin is a fantastic piece of software which allows the not-so-techy run a full hosting server nicely, however I’ve come accross a bug that seems to happen mostly in Centos 5 when trying to upgrade and you happened to have used the rpm to install

This is how you do it.

Login to Virtualmin. Click on System Settings . Click on “Upgrade to Virtualmin Pro” and enter your serial number etc.

Now if you get the following error

Failed to upgrade to Virtualmin Pro : No Virtualmin GPL repository was found in /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualmin.repo

Put this into /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualmin.repo

[virtualmin]
name=Red Hat Enterprise $releasever - $basearch - Virtualmin
baseurl=http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/rhel/$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin
gpgcheck=1

[virtualmin-universal]
name=Virtualmin Distribution Neutral
baseurl=http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/universal/
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin
gpgcheck=1

Then try again. It should all go well now for you and be able to update.
