Centos 9 or Almalinux 9

[kapaweb]

Hello,
I have a life time licence and I try to install directadmin in centos 9 or Almalinux 9. In my panel I don`t have option for centos 9 or Almalinux 9.
How can install it?

Thank you!

Hello.
You can set it to Auto-detect or use Linux 64-bit static.

 

[kapaweb]

Yes it`s ok!
Thank you!

Did they really sell Lifetime licenses for $89?

 

[kapaweb]

It` s a very old licence!

Did they really sell Lifetime licenses for $89?

Did they really sell Lifetime licenses for $89?

Ten years ago they did. For about the price you could buy a new car hundred years ago. It’s called inflation.

 

[Richard G]

Ten years ago they did.

No they didn't.
When I started in 2008 the price for a lifetime was already $ 299 for some time.

No they didn't.
When I started in 2008 the price for a lifetime was already $ 299 for some time.

for $89 it was internal DC license, you must confirm that you own IP-pool and license can be used only on this pool.

 

[Richard G]

for $89 it was internal DC license,

Oh the internal DC licenses, that is correct, they were a lot cheaper, I didn't now prices of those. He didn't say it was internal so I thought we were talking external licenses.

 

[BillyS]

The $89 I saw was in the screenshot, which as since been removed.

To install DirectAdmin on CentOS 8 or AlmaLinux 8, follow these steps:
Install the required packages:
perlCopy code
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 db4-devel

 

[Richard G]

Install the required packages:

Not needed anymore. Nowadays the DA setup installs the necessary packages itself.

I wish could have purchased a few DA lifetime licenses but currently have a few LTD in a bucket like Blesta, WHMCS, and few SaaS from AppSumo deals

 

[Zhenyapan]

I'm not sure if DirectAdmin is compatible with Centos 9 or Almalinux 9 yet.

It's compatible and few people reported about their positive experience during last 3-6 months. Ofcource with new OpenSSL it support PHP 8.x only

 

[Active8]

We have several AL9 servers with DA working without problems

As far as I understood the Centos Stream versions, so also Centos Stream 9 is upstream (so kind of pre-release) to Redhat while Centos (old way) and AlmaLinux are downstream, so after Redhat, which most likely makes Alma more stable.

Both are supported by Directadmin. But I like stability more so I personally prefere downstream versions, so Alma Linux.

There is no "centos 9". Never will be.
CentOS was discontinued after 8

 

[Zhenyapan]

@twhiting9275 he about "Centos 9 stream" https://centos.org/stream9/ it's here, eol 2027, Almalinux 9.1 based on it too.

 

[Richard G]

Almalinux 9.1 is based on RHEL 9.1. Stream comes before that, less stable.
