Hi guys,

I just installed a fresh trial on CentOS8
The installation seemed to have gone ok.

I can open http://server-ip:2222 and the login page opens.

When is use the details in /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/setup.txt it does not work.
adminname=admin
adminpass=xxxxxxxxxxxxx

There is lots of space, no full partitions because the install is new.
I check the time setting - ok
I restarted but same problem

When i do passwd admin command then there is no user admin.

Any advice, this is crazy to have such issues on a fresh new install.

Cheers

That’s strange. Admin user should be there. Try:
Code: 
/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin i

I hope it helps!
 
Hooray, that worked.

Thanks, what could be the cause and how to prevent it in future?

I am not sure. Do you have output from the installation saved? If yes, you may PM it to me, it might have more info.

Looks like there are many issues with the DA install on CentOS8.

Cannot update the hostname, won't accept anything xx.xxxxxxxx.xxx

When errors starting Exim
Cannot find the script in /etc/systemd/system, /usr/lib/systemd/system, nor /lib/systemd/system
/lib/systemd/system/exim.service

Are these normal?
 
Your installation failed earlier. Command provided was not enough. I’d simply suggest reinstallation, that should work..

Code: 
cd /root
wget -O setup.sh directadmin.com/setup.sh
./setup.sh auto beta

If any issues - feel free to PM me and I could check it directly on your server free of charge.
 
@istartcloud
Which version are you now using on your production server?

Can we use already CentOS8 64bit for production servers with DirectAdmin or is there only a beta out of it at moment?
Otherise which CentOS version is recoomend to use on a new server?

I'm testing DA on CentOS8 64bit now.
Have a few things still to resolve.
 
Just some advice @alwaysbusy, don't skimp on test vps RAM.
I initially tried with a small vps and 1GB RAM but it cause issues.
2GB RAM and 2GB Swap space worked well but you can obviously go as big as you want.

Follow the steps and pre-installs for CentOS8 and you should be fine.

I've posted some other issues I'm facing in separate places but no responses yet.

No issues with CentOS8 at all.
No issues with CloudLinux 8 at all.

My issues were to little RAM to build DA.
Now some config and setup problems with DA I'm waiting for feedback/advice on.

I got for testing a VPS with 4GB RAM, that should be fine, i guess.
