[Virtualmin] unable to install regardless of what I try
Fahid

Hello,
I am unfortunately a customer of T4VPS who has already paid for 2 years of service and now I wish I had not, I think T4VPS is trying to teach a lesson, Greed is a Curse.
Ever Since I have joined I have never been able to get anything working except an OpenVPN server and T4VPS is not the only plate-form I am using as VPS provider.
When I say Minimal OS, that means I used a fresh OS Images provided by T4VPS and then tried to turn in into minimal OS Image using the commands given on the page below
To make an OS Image Minimal: https://community.time4vps.com/discussion/30/make-minimal-os/p1
So far I have tried to install:
1- CWP on CentOS 6
--- Minimal OS - Failed
--- Just update and install on Fresh T4VPS Image - Failed
--- Just Install on Fresh T4VPS Image - Failed
2- Virtualmin on Ubuntu 12, 14, 15, 16
--- Minimal OS - Failed
--- Just update and install on Fresh T4VPS Image - Failed
--- Just Install on Fresh T4VPS Image - Failed
3- Virtualmin on CentOS 6, 7
--- Minimal OS - Failed
--- Just update and install on Fresh T4VPS Image - Failed
--- Just Install on Fresh T4VPS Image - Failed
4- Virtualmin on Debian 7, 8
--- Minimal OS - Failed
--- Just update and install on Fresh T4VPS Image - Failed
--- Just Install on Fresh T4VPS Image - Failed
At times I have even reached my monthly limits for installing new OS, but so far never been able to get either CWP or Virtualmin working. And I must mention that I have never NEVER ever faced any such trouble setting either CWP or Virtualmin on any other VPS Service. Hell I can build a new computer part by part, install OS and get the both CWP and Virtualmin working on them and I have literally done that and am using even right now. What I am trying to say is that even though I am not Geek with Linux in particular, I know enough to get things going. But only at T4VPS, I am stuck since forever. I have asked for help on several forums and unable to find anything helpful. All the trouble relates to T4VPS. Yes I do face t´problems elsewhere as well but I can find workarounds from documentations, Youtube or support forums etc. but T4VPS is unique, I can't find anything that can help me here.
When I try contacting the support, they would rather advertise/ suggest package upgrades and tell me what more can I get if upgrade. But so far I have never get any HELP to get any of the above working. My usual ideal is Virtualmin on CentOS 7, but here I even tried compromising but to no avail.
After a quite sometime, I have had some free time today and thought to try again, after a few failed attempts I thought why not try the T4VPS forum for once, so I am here.

I wanted to install virtualmin on Ubuntu 16.04; I met same issues (as in your log); the error is quite cryptic and unexpected; also in my case virtualmin setup worked flawlessly in other vps.
A particular thing of time4vps is that ipv6 is not supported, as far as I know; this is a weird thing in my opinion; modern software kind of expects to use ipv6. Working on this I made virtualmin work as expected, with the following steps:
- fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04
- I did not make the OS minimal; I tried it once following that guide, https://community.time4vps.com/discussion/30/make-minimal-os/p1 and it worked, but also ssh was removed and to log-in I had to use the shell provided in the control panel; I decided to keep the full OS for the moment
- during previous installation of virtualmin I had issues with locale; solved those like this:
sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales (graphical interface; I chose en_US.UTF-8)
- apt-get install dovecot-common dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d
(these packages are the part related to dovecot for Ubuntu, taken from virtualmin install.sh)
Then edited: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf file.. uncommenting the line "listen = *, ::" and setting it to "listen = *" (listen just to ipv4 instead of also ipv6)
- then again "apt-get install dovecot-common dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d"
- install virtualmin: "/bin/sh install.sh"
- service apache2 restart
- In /etc/hosts comment the rows related to ipv6 (those with ::)
- remove the "ipv6=1" line from /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf
- /etc/init.d/webmin restart (now webmin should be up and working at https://yourip:10000)
Happy new year!
Andrea
But got the following error:
I tried before to just install dovecot-common and it was successful. Do you know what could be wrong?
