Can you check if the /run/ directory and the /run/directadmin.pid file exists? Is anything reported in the DirectAdmin error log when you attempt to restart (/var/log/directadmin/error.log)? Have you tried starting it in debug mode to see if any information is given that way (https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=293)?

Seeing this exact same issue on a fresh CentOS 8.1 install. Lots of errors (can't find repo) during install but displays 'Installed Successfully'.

All 6 error lines reported by @SaeedTJ match. Did the preinstall as well before install.

We're installing a new server and would love to install DA on CentOS 8. Any suggestions would be great.
