Bocacom typically handles the DA installs prior to releasing a new server... did they not set this one up?

No they did not.

I'd contact Jim - see if he can help you out with this.

This is an install I have done on a test machine. I am just wondering if anyone has come accross this or may have a quick resolution for it.

I belive in my lic order I chose the wrong OS, would this have anything to do with it? :-(

Oh yeah, probably. I'd e-mail them to have that corrected asap.

SENT! thanks Joe

Type:

cd /usr/local/directadmin
ldd directadmin

check for the libssl.so.5 library.. it will likely say "not found".

Search your system for any "libssl.so.*" files by running:

locate libssl.so

(you may need to run "updatedb" first).

if you find a libsso.so file for a different vesrion, eg, /lib/libssl.so.6 (or libssl.so.4), then type:

cd /lib
ln -s libssl.so.6 libssl.so.5

Then finish the install by running:

cd /usr/local/directadmin
./directadmin i
./directadmin p

Thank you to John!

Click to expand...

Why would this thread by specific to Bocacom? If it is, it's probably in the wrong subforum.

Seth's signature line had "Servers by Bocacom" - so I responded. It ends up assisting anyone, so I dont see a reason to move it.

(his signature has apparently been edited since this last post)

I removed the signature so nobody would become confused.

libssl.so.5: cannot open

I am installing on FC 5 while my license says FC 4. but during the instgallation DA confirms that it is installing on FC 5. Do I have to contact DA to update my license information?

Everything goes fine during the installation and then this error message shows up:

i have installed yum install libssl and finds nothing more to install.

i went to cd /usr/local/directadmin and tried to start
./directadmin i
and it still fails with following error:

./directadmin: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I am installing this through ssh.
Has somebody installed it on FC 5?
