Hi everyone,

When using custombuild on a clean Debian 4 minimal install, I get an error when the install tries to restart apache:

stopping httpd
starting httpd: syntax error on line 141 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf syntax error on line 21 of /etc/https/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf: could not open configuration file /etc/httpd/cond/ips.conf: no such file or directory

It seems that ips.conf is missing.

It's the first time I'm using custombuild, so I'm convinced I missed something, but I searched for many hours this forum, google, wht... and I couldn't find a solution.

First I've choosen:
-php5 cgi
-zend: yes
-MySQL 5.0
-Apache 2.2
-Dovecot: no
-ProFTPD: yes
-jailed shell: no

After trying and trying, I did a complete Debian reinstall en ran custombuild again:
-php 4 cgi
-zend: no
-MySQL 4.1
-Apache 1.3
-Dovecot: no
-ProFTPD: yes
-jailed shell: no

Same problem...

Anyone an idee?

(I already tried ./build update ./build all d)

Thanx for your quick reply!

When I type that command I get an error: no such file or directory
It seems I haven't a folder 'data' in /usr/local/directadmin yet.

In /usr/local/directadmin I have:
-custombuild
-custombuild.tar.gz
-scripts
 
Hello,

If you only have those 3 files, then your install isn't done.
The setup.sh should have downloaded an update.tar.gz file, extracted it and given you many other files. You'll want to figure out why that is.
You can send us your license ID number to support at directadmin.com and have a check the recent connections for that license.. it's usually a wrong IP or something like that.

Hi John,

Thanx for your reply and thanks Mark for changing the IP in the DA license.

I did a format again and reinstalled DA using custombuild; but same problem.

Installation stops and I get:
All parts have been installed
Type: /etc/init.d/httpd restart

When I do that, I get:
Stopping httpd:
Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 141 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 21 of /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/ips.conf: No such file or directory

And in /usr/local/directadmin I still just have:
-custombuild
-custombuild.tar.gz
-scripts



Installation procedure I did:
1. wget http://www.directadmin.com/setup.sh
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh
2. option custombuild
3. error: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=119
wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/wget-1.8.2.tar.gz
tar xvzf wget-1.8.2.tar.gz
cd wget-1.8.2
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-ssl
make
make install
4. proceed install by redownloading en restarting custombuild:
cd /usr/local/directadmin
wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/custombuild
/1.1/custombuild.tar.gz
tar xvzf custombuild.tar.gz
cd custombuild
./build update
./build all

What did I do wrong?
 
You need to go back to step 1 after doing step 3.
If you end up going in circles, send us an email at support at directadmin.com

any help would be great.
 
Hello,

It's claiming you're missing g++. If you're running Debian, run this command:
Code:
apt-get install gcc g++ make flex bison openssl libssl-dev perl perl-base perl-modules
to give you a good base of required packages.

I had to update my apt-get sources, after doing so everything John mentioned above installed perfectly as well as DirectAdmin. Thanks John and smtalk.
