Hello,

I am trying to install direct admin on my debian box (because i noticed debian support somewhere else in this forum)

The setup.sh runs fine, after giving the licence & machine details, the installer asks me if its ok to install on debian 3.1

cat /etc/debian_version returns debian 3.1
my kernel : 2.6.8-20041214

Error after downloading some packages :

All Checks have passed, continuing with install...

Doesn't look like you have newsyslog installed

Can anyone point me out, what to check or give me any leads ?

Thanks in advance
 
It's almost like you have the wrong install script.

/usr/local/etc/rc.d should be /etc/init.d on Debian.

And it's looking in the wrong locations for tools like grep, pw, and chown
which are either in /bin or /usr/bin and not the directories its trying to execute them from. You should be able to modify the scripts with the correct locations, although I'm not sure why it didn't detect things properly in the first place.

I didn't have any of those problem on 3.0 so maybe it's contained to 3.1
 
yes i figured out that i keep downloading the setup script for freebsd (usr/local/directadmin/scripts/setup.sh)

there must be something wrong with the licence.
 
Is the Operating system set in your license set correctly?
When it's giving the confirmation to install on such and such an IP and operating system is it correct?

the setup.sh is also supposed to detect the operating your system your running.
 
oké, the licence is adjusted for debian now (don't have the option standard in the 'purchase licence' dialog.

But the info was manually changed by a DA admin, managed to get everything up & running (the install was pretty smooth)
 
thanks for all the help (problem solved)

hope to have some great times on this forum and with DA :)
