1) Apache wouldn't compile
Here is the critical portion of the install output:
Code:
--------------------------
Patching file src/main/util.c using Plan A...
Hunk #1 succeeded at 665 (offset -43 lines).
done
Trying to make apache...
[b]make: no target to make.[/b]
## REPORT_START
Welcome to DirectAdmin verion 1.26.1!
You are now about to run the install program. If DirectAdmin is already
installed, it may destroy previous data.
I didn't debug the script, but after looking around in the customapache directory, I figured out that it was making mod_ssl, but not switching into the right path to make apache.
I switched into the apache source dir and ran this:
SSL_BASE=/usr/local ./configure --enable-module=ssl && make && make install
Problem solved.

2) My license file was empty.
Here's what I got when I ran getLicense.sh:
Code:
--00:16:16--  [url]https://www.directadmin.com/cgi-bin/licenseupdate?lid=xxx&uid=xxx[/url]
           => `/usr/local/directadmin/conf/license.key'

Error downloading the license file
Just like the error message says, adding "--no-check-certificate" to both instances of wget in that script file fixed the problem.

Once those two things were fixed, life was good!
