Virtualmin GPL installation on Amazon EC2 with the ami-3c56b255 instance

This is more of a note for myself than for anything else, but maybe someone else will find it useful:

If you’re installing Virtualmin GPL on the ami-3c56b255 Centos5 instance, you’ll find that running the regular install.sh script doesn’t work. It’ll give an error something like this:

FATAL - Fatal Error Occurred: Something went wrong during installation: 0
FATAL - Cannot continue installation.
FATAL - Attempting to remove virtualmin repository configuration, so the installation can be
FATAL - re-attempted after any problems have been resolved.
FATAL - Removing temporary directory and files.
FATAL - If you are unsure of what went wrong, you may wish to review the log
FATAL - in /root/virtualmin-install.log

Anyway, all you need to do to fix it is to install the openssl-devel package: yum install openssl-devel

The Virtualmin GPL install will work just fine after that.

Edit 1/25/2011: if you get

Missing Dependency: httpd = 2.2.3-43.el5.centos.3

run yum remove httpd-devel to clear that up.
