Problems installing DirectAdmin

[Wouter]

When I want to install DirectAdmin, I get:

beginning pre-checks, please wait...
adding gd ...
Fetching http://files.directadmin.com/services/packages-5.3-release/Latest/gd.tbz... Done.
pkg_add: package 'gd-2.0.25,1' or its older version already installed

I can use the "--no-check-certificate" but I don't think this is what we want...

I've got an answer from John:

Hello,

If you are using freebsd 4.8, try using this version of wget instead:

If that solves your problem, maybe post it in your thread on the forum.

After that I have sent this reply to John:

Hello John,

I’m using FreeBSD 5.4 so that isn’t the problem, but you give me an idea what it could be.
I have installed wget by myself using the ports (/usr/ports/ftp/wget).

That version was conflicting with the DA-install. A “make deinstall” in /usr/ports/ftp/wget and restarting the DA-setup was the solution J.
I will post this also in the thread. Thanks for your support.
