Install Trouble: Unable to read directadmin.conf

[duncan]

I previously had DA installed on my own dedicated server and it worked great (DA installed it for me at the time). I switched machines, and am now trying to install it on a Fedora VPS.

I have tried several times, but it keeps failing. Any ideas?? I have no idea where to go from here.

Thanks!

Duncan

OK I got it installed properly (although still doesn’t run, but that’s a whole different thread )


For anyone who may read this later with the same problem...

I re-installed fresh and manually edited the setup.txt file to add in the IP address. Even through I indicated at the start of the installation, it did not save. So just ensure that the setup file has all of your proper information, then re-install.

Hi

Don't hesitate to MP if I can help. I have installed DA on many boxes.
