I just purchased/rented a dedicated server. They gave me a choice of operating systems and the choice between CPanel or DA. I chose FreeBSD and DA. From the moment it came online, I have not been able to start any of my services. After several emails to support, they have Apache working but, that's about it. Can't get MySQL or anything else to go.
I just got off the phone with support. Seems they just started offering/using DA a few weeks ago (would have been great if they told me that in the beginning). They pretty much put it off on FreeBSD and DA not working well together. The two solutions offered were switch to CPanel or change operating systems (though, they have no practical time with DA on other OSs, either).
My obvious question is, does FreeBSD play well with DA? Are there issues between the two? WHICH VERSION SHOULD BE INSTALLED? Should I change to RedHat or another operating system or, wait for Support to figure things out?
Here's the error I'm getting from MySQL menu:
Unable to read %s : %s/usr/local/directadmin/conf/mysql.confUnable to open /usr/local/directadmin/conf/mysql.conf for reading.
Error connecting to MySQL: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
