Installing on debian 4.0

Why is it that the setup script for DA broken when installing on debian
Its like its trying to install on a redhat system

Things fail to install

eg

E: Couldn't find package krb5-libs
adding krb5-devel ...

Cannot find /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date... up2date may break things.
*** You have /var partition. The databases, emails and logs will use this partition. *MAKE SURE* its adequately large (6 gig or larger)

Also the cron issue where it fails to install, and asks you to install vixie-cron , which is not a package in the debian repositories


I do wonder what else is missing/broken or not installed.

Should these issues not be resolved if its an officially supported operating system.

Make sure that you have a Debian DA license, and not RedHat/CentOS/Fedora.

Click to expand...

Its order through a 3rd party, and they say its a debian license

You will need to double check... the installer is downloading the Redhat based files.

No one has the right to sell you a DirectAdmin license except DirectAdmin. You may not have a valid license. You should contact DirectAdmin Sales.

just wondering now so all hosts that offer dedicated servers with DA preinstalled are fonyes or what?

It all depends on what conditions DA have given the company that has the internal licensing account.

Generally the provider can offer you a license to use with there products & services but they will always own it. The provider can charge you a one off fee or monthly etc... or even not at all, but when you cancel there services the license stays with the provider.
