Changing server IP address & new license

[boborino]

Hey all,

We're trying to download the new license file from DirectAdmin's website, since our server changed IP address .

However, "wget" returns us a "wget: No match." error every time we try to download the file from DirectAdmin's website. We also tried downloading the file from another Linux box, but the file we received only contains an error message saying "* You are not allowed to run this program *".

The command line we use is the following:
"wget -O /usr/local/directadmin/conf/license.key https://www.directadmin.com/cgi-bin/licenseupdate?uid=XXXX\&lid=XXXX"

We would appreciate a quick answer, since the server is down in the meantime.

Thanks,

Marc-Andre

Is wget installed?
If you use FreeBSD you can get it from the ports:
/usr/ports/ftp/wget

Another problem could be the "&" in the command line.
Use this:
wget -O /usr/local/directadmin/conf/license.key "https://www.directadmin.com/cgi-bin/licenseupdate?uid=UID&lid=LID"

Removed the \ in front of the & and put the url between "".

Hi.
I got it!!
Please note that the command for FreeBSD 5.2.1 should be:

wget -O /usr/local/directadmin/conf/license.key
....w.directadmin.com/cgi-bin/licenseupdate\?\uid=XXXX\&\lid=XXXX

(Make sure to include https:\\www in your command)

Thanks all for your help
