Re: [webmin-l] re: upgrade

One possible problem could be DNS resolution. Try logging in as root via SSH, and re-starting Webmin at the command line with:

/etc/webmin/stop
/etc/webmin/start

And then re-trying the upgrade.

OK I can donwload using wget and i can go to WEBMINS website and download the tar form there too.  But i can not do it from with webmin.  Hope that helps you to figure out what is wrong.

    No...that progress meter is your client-side browser and only shows 

    what's happening between you and the Webmin server.  You're not 

    downloading anything more than the progress page from Webmin to your own 

    client machine--you're triggering a download on your Webmin server. 

    Webmin has its own progress indicator, and if you don't see it begin 

    downloading and reporting the percentages in the browser window the 

    download is not starting at all and that is the source of your trouble. 

      It is possibly a firewall, as Vernon mentioned, or just as likely DNS 

    trouble--you can find out by trying a download from the command line 

    using wget, just as Vernon and I pointed out in the last couple of 

    messages...try it, please, and get back to us with the result.  This is 

    not a bug in Webmin that anyone else is seeing, nor is it a problem on 

    the download servers, so repeatedly telling us "it doesn't work" isn't 

    going to do any good.  The problem is on your machine, and we're trying 

    to help you solve it.  Help us help you, or we'll never get anywhere.

 

    What happens when you run:

 

    wget 

    http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/webadmin/webmin-1.240.tar.gz

 

    (All on one line.)

 

    If it works (I'll be surprised) then the problem is somewhere in Webmin 

    and we'll need to look a bit deeper.  But I'm betting you'll either get 

    a host not found error indicating that your DNS is improperly
