an error on installing Direct admin in my server

[itsmehanoop]

I encountered an error on installing Direct admin in my server. And the error is

' This is debian wheezy/unstable, which is debian 7 beta, which we do not yet support.'.

I know currently i am using Debian wheezy version and i would like to integrate
Directadmin in my server. I already have account but when i run the setup as specified in the Directadmin installation guide, this error occurs. So kindly tell me how can i overcome this situation. My site already running on this server. I do not wish to lose any data.

Hello,

You should select an OS from this list: http://www.directadmin.com/install.html

Your Debian wheezy version is not supported yet, and if you manage anyhow to install directadmin on the server, there is a high possibility that directadmin binary won't run.

DirectAdmin may or may not cause you to lose your data when you set it up on a server already running your website.

IMPORTANT: Whether you lose your data or not, you will almost certainly lose all access to it from the Internet. DirectAdmin will delete any copies of apache and your current mail daemon from the server and will install it's own from source. DirectAdmin uses exim and its own setup for virtual (domain-based) email. DirectAdmin almost certainly uses a different path for your DocumentRoot for apache.

From the page linked to by user zEitEr:

***Please do not install services such as Apache, PHP, MySQL, Ftp, Sendmail, etc., as we will do this for you. All we need is a CLEAN install of your operating system.***
We do not recommend installing DirectAdmin on an existing live production server.
DirectAdmin does not convert existing data upon install.

If you installl DirectAdmin on a currently live server you will most certainly have problems and if you need support you'll most likely find it much more expensive than starting from scratch.
