Wel"l this is a real learning process.

I downloaded putty.exe and was able to get into my vps. Finally.

Now I need to download virtualmin into my vps.

I tried the Wget command but it says it is not available.

I then tried Yum but I get this error message

thread.error: can't start new thread

So how can I get this virtualmin downloaded into my VPS.

This is really driving me Crazy...

Can anyone assist me?

Thank You

  • If wget is not available, you got a pretty crappy distribution (I assume, you tried wget and not Wget as you wrote). I would contact the VPS provider for a better image. Most providers have images with pre-installed control panels, you might want to try asking for one.

  • I am using Cent 05.. I tried Yum errors in VPSLinks. There was a link to linux questions there but it is no longer valid. As far as the google search I found tons of the same error but they all applied to different things and none of there solutions seem to work. Any more suggestions

    • Did you try editing /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf and set "enable=0" as mentioned in that first link I posted?

      Also, this error seems to be somewhat memory related. How much ram does your VPS have?

      Of course the CentOS image provided by your VPS provider might be messed up; some of these guys don't know what they're doing in regard to the operating system images they provide. Which VPS provider did you go with anyway?
