Debian Beta Testing

Redevelopment said:
Same here. The biggest problem I'm having is that services can't be restarted from DA.

i think that could be fixed easily, it's just directadmin may used wrong command to restart these services.

my biggest problem is mysql won't work, but you guys seems had no such problem. any tips on how to get up mysql?

What's the problem? I also had trouble getting mysql on it's feet but I got it up and running by downloading all the files from http://files.directadmin.com/services/debian_3.0
extracting them into the /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/services/ directory
Apparently the services package didn't have all the files necassary at the time I did my installation (last sunday).

Then I just reran: /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/mysql.sh

I don't know if DA has repackaged the services pack with all the necassary files since. ;) Or if thats even your issue.
 
thank you jmstacey, i've tried to install mysql again as well.but the problem is still there.

in my server, mysql is running, but when i go to mysql management, i always see

Create new Database
phpMyAdmin
Error connecting to MySQL: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

so i couldn't create a new db. that's the problem i have now.

my server is debian 3.1 sarge and the kernel is 2.6.8

i'm going to reinstall da again.

any ideas on this issue?

thank you.

i'm already use newest mysql-client

debian:~# apt-get install mysql-client

mysql-client is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
at: Depends: mail-transport-agent
exim4: Depends: exim4-base (>= 4.34) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: exim4-daemon-light but it is not going to be installed or
exim4-daemon-heavy but it is not going to be installed or
exim4-daemon-custom but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I agree, it was kind of hidden in a thread:

PHP: 
mysql>SET PASSWORD FOR da_admin@localhost = OLD_PASSWORD('yourpassword');
 
I have a strange Exim problem:

Code: 
Starting MTA: 2005-01-31 20:35:49 Exim configuration error in line 361 of /etc/exim.conf:
  user root was not found

root is in the never_users option.

When I install exim4 by using apt-get install, exim works, but rejects a lot, so I want to install by using exim in /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/ to install exim.

Anyone who could help me?
 
I had to rerun the installation to get exim working. Try simplying running DirectAdmin's exim installation script that is in /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/exim.sh
 
I installed DA on debian 3.0
Still I'm having some small problems.

Firstly, Mysql wasn't running.
So I installed it again with the scripts DA provides.

Mysql is running now, but I had to install mailx and postfix for it.
The problem now is that Exim isn't installed.
Whenever I try to install Exim, it will uninstall MySQL-server.

Is there any way i can fix this?

any help is appreciated.
 
i don't think install exim will uninstall mysql.

anyway, DA support has told me debian installer script is still beta, there are problems here and there, but i believe they will solve all problems soon for sure.

i'm having problems as well, my httpd is down today and this is a server running nothing on it.
 
server02:~# dpkg -i da_exim-4.43.deb
dpkg: regarding da_exim-4.43.deb containing exim:
exim conflicts with postfix
postfix (version 1.1.11-0.woody3) is installed.
dpkg: error processing da_exim-4.43.deb (--install):
conflicting packages - not installing exim
Errors were encountered while processing:
da_exim-4.43.deb


So when I try to uninstall postfix it gives:
server02:~# apt-get remove postfix
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
mailx mutt mysql-server postfix postfix-ldap postfix-pcre
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 14.2MB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Abort.

So it WILL remove mysql-server.
That's pretty much the only problem I still have with DA on debian woody.
Everything else is working.
 
I would try going ahead and removing postfix and MySQL and any remaining remnants of them. Then rerun the exim and MySQL install procedures since you don't really have anything to lose giving it a try ;)
 
Hi DA users/admin,
I didn't buy DA but I'm planning to do so. I am waiting for a Debian-compatible version of DA. I hope it will be for Debian Woody and Sarge, will it be so ?
I sent you an e-mail to know if I can beta-test the pre-debian-release.
 
Can i download and test this beta version somewhere? Or is it just for some people..
 
I don't know if it has been added to the Operating System drop down box when buying a new license yet, if not you can probably get it by sending them an email. So far the biggest problem was the installation, which will probably require a little tweaking here and there, other than that the bugs with DirectAdmin itself are pretty small.
 
any news on this one yet ?
is the debian installer included in the latest version ?

thanks in advance
 
I haven't done an installation on Debian since then, but I would think it should work just fine. Half of the problems I had were due to my own installation.
