Hello!

I did a clean install of DA today but something has gone wrong. I can't login to DA and there's no "directadmin.conf" file.
I read something about this being a mismatch in license data. But i don't think that's the problem:

Code: 
# lsb_release -a

Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.7 (squeeze)
Release:        6.0.7
Codename:       squeeze

Code: 
# uname -a

Linux dw1.destinationwebb.se 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Feb 25 00:26:11 UTC 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Code: 
# ./directadmin o

Compiled on 'Debian 6.0 64-bit'
Compile time: Feb 27 2013 at 17:38:07
Compiled with IPv6

Here's what i have done so far:

1. I installed Debian 6.0 64-bit on a VPS
2. I activated "SSH-server"
3. I downloaded and ran setup.sh

Everything seemed to be working fine, except i got this error message at the end:
Code: 
./directadmin: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried browsing to DA but did not get a login page. So i thought DirectAdmin was not running and ran:
Code: 
service directadmin start

and got a error message.

So i did this:
Code: 
cd /usr/local/mysql/lib
ln -s libmysqlclient.so.18 libmysqlclient.so.16
ldconfig

and then i tried starting DA again with "service directadmin start" and it worked. But i still can't browse the login page. And i can't find any directadmin.conf file.

During the install i selected:
- Custombuild 2
- PHP 5.4 (php-fpm)
- nginx
- MySQL 5.5

And nginx seems to be working since i can browse my IP and i get "Nginx is functioning normally".
So i installed the pre-relase binaries from my client area but that did not solve anything.

Help? =)
 
I ran this:
Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin
./directadmin i
./directadmin p

and now i have a directadmin.conf but i still cant browse the login page.
