Hi all,

I'm currently migrating to a new server and having problems installing directadmin on the new machine. In the days of old, I'd probably be looking into Almalinux as the culprit, but with DA crippling all lifetime licenses, this could be about anything, including the script simply refusing the install (wrong codebase, update channel or god knows what). Pretty clueless atm and couldn't find any similar issue on these forums, which is typically a bad sign and makes me expect a long night with little sleep. If anybody has an idea which tree to bark up at, I'd greatly appreciate it, unfortunately the error message itself doesn't seem helpful at all.

Note that I copied options.conf, php_extensions.conf and the custombuild/custom folder with some nginx configurations from the old server that was running CentOS - not sure if this makes any difference. Other than that, this is a clean install.

(Actual license key and domains removed.)

Code:
[root@server ~]# bash <(curl -fsSL https://download.directadmin.com/setup.sh) <license_key>

Good to know. I never had that issue on any Alma 9 installation, but indeed I always install the network-scripts by default.

Were you also installing on Virtuozzo? Or did you just tried that solution?
 
No Virtuozzo - just got lucky. First thing I did was run "yum update" to see if I could gather some more clues. That got me the exact same initscripts conflict posted in that forum, so I thought I'd give the solution a try.
