CentOS 8 DirectAdmin installation failed

[myH2Oservers]

Just tried to install a new server on CentOS 8 minimal installation. Ran the pre-install commands:

yum install wget gcc gcc-c++ flex bison make bind bind-libs bind-utils openssl openssl-devel perl quota libaio libcom_err-devel libcurl-devel gd zlib-devel zip unzip libcap-devel cronie bzip2 cyrus-sasl-devel perl-ExtUtils-Embed autoconf automake libtool which patch mailx bzip2-devel lsof glibc-headers kernel-devel expat-devel psmisc net-tools systemd-devel libdb-devel perl-DBI perl-libwww-perl xfsprogs rsyslog logrotate crontabs file kernel-headers

However during setup.sh the installation stopped because SpamAssassin could not be installed, it was missing 2 required Perl modules.
It advised me to run:

cpan -i Archive::Tar Digest::SHA Mail::SPF IP::Country Net::Ident IO::Socket::INET6 Compress::Zlib Mail::DKIM LWP::UserAgent HTTP::Date Encode::Detect ExtUtils::MakeMaker

Since I am not sure how to continue the installation I started setup.sh again (would me nice if there was some kind of progress memory so the installation could pick up where it crashed ).

How to install rspamd on CentOS 8 with DirectAdmin

If you want to install rspamd on CentOS 8 with DirectAdmin, here is a short guide on the matter.

Yes but I currently want SpamAssassin, not rspamd ;-) we are still testing rspamd to check the quality of filtering. We are not yet convinced it is better than SpamAssassin (performance yes, filtering no).

Yum command from this article should solve it: https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=36

I know how to solve it, but it would be nice if the DA installer does not fail on it. So maybe add the yum command into the part that installs SpamAssassin or add the needed packages to the pre-install command?

I'm new to DA, and while the install directions are pretty straight forward in terms of outlining the steps, reducing the steps by installing necessary dependencies would be nice.

I just did the SA install on Debian 10 and it went smoothly. When running setup, were you doing custom or auto install?
