Usermin update stuck on "Checking for third-party modules .."

[7starsone]

Hello, i tried to update Usermin by update-from-repo.sh and is stuck on Checking for third-party modules ..

now Webmin/Virtualmin page returns ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

what happens here? I'm on CentOS 7 thanks

[7starsone]

found that Webmin service is stopped... is it by design? Is it trying to first update Usermin and then restart the services? Anyway, why this behavior? After "Checking for third-party modules .." it does nothing for a long time, while on their page they write that 1.740 is "Just theme and translation updates." and so why this "Checking for third-party modules .." never ending?

[7starsone]

now "Warning! In order to have System Information displayed you will need to enable System Status module in user settings."

[7starsone]

what's up to Webmin, please, and how to fix now?

[iliajie]

why this Checking for third-party modules never ending

Because webmin.com site and the part of it, that let's you download modules is down. Jamie should've been notified about it.

It's the update script, not the theme issue. However, I'm glad to help. I'm just not sure what is the issue?

[7starsone]

the issue now is that I can't do anything on Webmin this is the screen

[7starsone]

and so on ""Checking for third-party modules .." wasn't set a check for the connection? And if this is the result...is wrong for sure. For an external connection, a check in the code must be set. Anyway, I can't understand what this has to do with this...it shouldn't happen

[iliajie]

Well, it looks like ACLs are down. Backup /etc/webmin/webmin.acl, then edit it and find root: make sure that you add * after root: so it looks like:

root: *

Restart Webmin by running /etc/webmin/restart

Please share backed up file, the string only for user root, did it have anything there?

[7starsone]

this is for root on webmin.acl

[7starsone]

it's like webmin became Usermin ... on the Title bar now I see Webmin 1.740 but Webmin is 1.881, updated yesterday on CentOS

[iliajie]

Strange, it should work.

Again, how did you update, using update-from-repo.sh script or yum command? In this case the script did something wrong.

On RHEL systems you can safely run

yum reinstall usermin

[7starsone]

I wanted to use your latest beta with Usermin, but it was reported outdated (1.731). just used update-from-repo.sh

[gnadelwartz]

this should be from Jamie's setup.sh script, I do not display this message.

when Jamie's script starts it stop webmin and copy files and third-party modules to webmin directory. If it breaks wemin is not running and innsn inconsitent state.

[gnadelwartz]

ok, usemin, didn't see while composing my anser

[gnadelwartz]

can you provide conplete output please?

from what usrmin version you was updating?

[7starsone]

reinstalled usermin (it installed 1.734), restarted Webmin but it does the same thing

[iliajie]

Third-party modules are down right now. Probably that's what made things broken. It's worth checking if connections to the links first before running update, like grabbing some small file or something.

[iliajie]

You need to restart Usermin, obviously.

[iliajie]

Unless the script destroyed /etc/usermin, there should be no more issues. Otherwise, you would have to restore /etc/usermin manually and restart Usermin.

[7starsone]

no way, restarted usermin and the same

[iliajie]

It doesn't look like Usermin?

[iliajie]

Why are you logging in to Usermin as root anyway?

[7starsone]

Webmin doesn't work, I need the usual Webmin/Virtualmin with root access. This is root and it's not working, as you can see

[gnadelwartz]

ok, now im confused.

the picture you posted is after webmin or usermin login?

[7starsone]

Webmin behaves like Usermin on port 10000 now.

Indeed, while before on Title bar I had Webmin 1.740 now, instead, I have as Title Webmin 1.734 just because I reinstalled usermin 1.734

[gnadelwartz]

so it looks like things are mixed up now

[iliajie]

Do reinstall the same way for Webmin using yum.

[7starsone]

and are the settings saved as before or do I need to save something before reinstall?

[gnadelwartz]

do you have a backup of usermin and webmin then restore /etc and /usr/libexec.

if not : make. a backup of /etc/webmin and /etc/usermin, delete webmin and usermin, and install from scratch. IMHO this us the best way

if you use virtualmin use the virtualmin installation method.

root cause may an old version of the update-from-repo.sh, may be I should build in a check if the latest version is installed and possibly create also a backup of config

[iliajie]

Running yum will be more than enough. If something goes wrong, restore /etc/webmin and /etc/usermin from backups and restart Webmin and/or Usermin.

[7starsone]

so, I had to do yum reinstall webmin for a usermin update 🤣 I won't do it anymore... unless they solve this connection issue/code

thanks 👍

[iliajie]

You're welcome.

[gnadelwartz]

@7starsone its fixed. if you want to try:

• go to your usermin installation dir
• download latest script version: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnadelwartz/webmin/master/update-from-repo.sh
• run update-from-repo.sh or if you want latest german translations also run update-from-repo.sh -repo:gnadelwartz/usermin

[7starsone]

@gnadelwartz I trust you...but now I prefer to wait for the official update 😆 😄 😸 🤣
