Hello,
I receive the following error while installing DA:

Code: 
Backup of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.back successfull
Install of /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/httpd.conf to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf successfull

*** Unable to read directadmin.conf.  Check permissions and make sure that it exists.  Cannot find the diradmin user.  Make sure the diradmin user exists in your system.<br>

## INSTALL_FAILED
## REPORT_END
Permissions set

The user diradmin exits,
When i view permissions i see:

Code: 
root@webl:/usr/local/directadmin/conf# ls -ls
total 12
4 -rw------- 1 diradmin diradmin 1636 2007-12-07 20:10 directadmin.conf
4 -rw------- 1 diradmin diradmin 1559 2007-12-07 20:10 license.key
4 -r-------- 1 diradmin diradmin   30 2007-12-07 20:10 mysql.conf

How do I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance
 
Hello,

As i see you have multiple errors. First i will give you all correct permissions on filenames and directories:

# cd /usr/
# ls -al
drwxr-xr-x 14 root staff 4.0K 2007-12-08 18:30 local

# cd local/
# ls -al
drwxr-xr-x 7 diradmin diradmin 4096 2007-12-08 15:51 directadmin

# cd directadmin/
# ls -al
drwxr-xr-x 7 diradmin diradmin 4096 2007-12-08 15:51 .
drwxr-xr-x 14 root staff 4096 2007-12-08 18:30 ..

Second; you do not have your hostname set. You need to specify your hostname as specified in your license. E.g.: # hostname server01.mydomain.com

Also you need to install it on a Linux distribution which is the same as your license and the ipaddress has to match. If you have questions about that you better can ask your hostingprovider.
