Hi there,
I'm trying to install on a clean debian install.
The only thing I did was do an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade -y; apt-get install build-essential to get the system up to date and with a compliler.

This is the error I get running the installer :

Code:

pausing for 2 seconds to let system find the new wget...

Try `wget --help' for more options.

So no one has any ideas? Does directadmin support staff not use these forums?
 
Well, you're not the only one. I also get this error since today. I install multiple DA licenses a week, but since today I get this error on Debian 4. CentOS is still working, but Debian 4.0r1 isn't at the moment.

I already tried and comment out the code which downloads the new wget binary. This because the wget binary which is getting downloaded from DirectAdmin is older (1.9.11) than the one Debian has got already installed (1.10.2) But this also doesn't work because after a while installing I get the error: "Error downloading the license file".

Does anybody (DA Staff) knows a solution? Thanks!

Hmmz, after I manually edited the setup script, ran it and removed it again, now the setup is performing well with the standard setup script and old wget file which is downloaded from DirectAdmin (but I only get very slow download speeds now). Strange!
 
jca - that is not the problem.

For a start is seems the SSL cert on www.directadmin.com is not valid, does anyone know why this is? "ERROR: Certificate verification error for www.directadmin.com: unable to get local issuer certificate"

Then the installer automatically downloads a different wget, which doesn't work either..
 
Hmmm ....

When I check, https://www.directadmin.com redirects to http://www.directadmin.com.

Perhaps a change (possibly an inadvertent change) in a new installation script?

Hopefully DA staff will respond.

Hopefully.... then I might be able to get DA installed *this* month..
 
Hello,

Our certificate is fine. That error has been showing up for years, for all certificates we've ever used, from all the different ssl companies we've got certificates from. If you google "no-check-certificate" you'll see that it's not an uncommon error message.
If you want to see it, use your browser:

https://www.directadmin.com/clients/

The https index.html just does a javascript redirect to http.

Regarding the wget problems, try compiling a new wget:

For quickest response from us, email us support at directadmin.com or use the https://www.directadmin.com/clients/safesubmit.php
