installing aegir on centos, few problems.

[talper]

ive been using this tutorial:
http://drupal.org/files/issues/Install%20Aegir%20on%20CentOS%20rp%20v0.1.txt

and faced a few problems.
for some reason, i get this massage:

Stopping httpd: [FAILED]
Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 142 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 21 of /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/ips.conf: No such file or directory

and each line is asking for the missing file-ips.conf.
it happens when i try to run service httpd....
what is happening here? why is it missing and how should i fix this?
also, the directadmin dir has only one subdir-custom and when something is trying to access directadmin, it doesnt count the custom dir and find nothing.
also for some reason therre are missing files on the custom dir.

this is some of what i get when running ./build rewrite_confs:

./build rewrite_confs
grep: /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/directadmin.conf: No such file or directory
./build: line 4160: [: : integer expression expected
grep: /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/directadmin.conf: No such file or directory
./build: line 4162: [: : integer expression expected
grep: /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf: No such file or directory

eventhough its not the right path(as i have custombuild dir after the directadmin) i also dont have in the custombuild the data/conf dirs and files.
just a bunch of tar.gz files of php etc..

Seems like your server is majorly messed up. You might have to reinstall directadmin.

how

how should i approach that?
on the direct admin dir i have custombuild.tar.gz, custombuild-mysite.tar.gz and ofcourse the custombuild dir that is the opened tar.gz file.....i guess they installed it on the server(not mine but i have root access).

so what should i do now? what should be my steps? should i first uninstall directadmin? SHOULD I INSTALL IT WITH YUM?

Do not attempt to reinstall DirectAdmin; it will probably result in an unusable server as it overwrites all configuration files with defaults.

If you rent a server with DirectAdmin installed, you should ask your hosting company to get involved in getting it fixed. Or possibly hire an expert DirectAdmin administrator to look at it for you.
