DirectAdmin installation failing with CentOS 5.x & 6.x 64bit!

[crspyjohn]

Hello, I'm attempting to install DirectAdmin on my CentOS 6.4 64bit server and it keeps failing at the CustomBuild step.

I select "3" for custombuild and it runs but eventually gives me multiple errors. Any ideas what is going on? I've tried all the knowledgebase articles and replies on the forum...

Also does anyone know what default yum packages need to be installed before installing DirectAdmin? I've tried the default settings as well as a few others and no luck.

I don't remember out of my head what option 3 is. I presume it's custombuild 2.0?
But if you don't place some of the errors, it will be difficult to help you understand waht is going on.

However, maybe your next question sheds some light on the problem. Because if you don't know what should be installed before installing Directadmin, it's not strange that you run in to errors and problems.
Look at this help for some clues:

This is what I always do myself (copy and paste if you want, use at your own risk):
