Trial Version Installation Error

[geekgirl]

I'm trying to install a trial version on Ubuntu 20.04 to see if DirectAdmin will meet my needs. I got a failure on install, which doesn't bode well. I tried installing using this command (got this off the DirectAdmin web site):

bash <(curl -Ss https://www.directadmin.com/setup.sh || wget -O - https://www.directadmin.com/setup.sh) auto

Here's the error:

/bin/sh /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-7.4.19/libtool --silent --preserve-dup-deps --mode=compile cc -I/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-7.4.19/ext/fileinfo/libmagic -Iext/fileinfo/ -I/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-7.4.19/ext/fileinfo/ -DPHP_ATOM_INC -I/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-7.4.19/include -I/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-7.4.19/main -I/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-7.4.19 -I/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-7.4.19/ext/date/lib -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu -I/usr/include/libpng16 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-7.4.19/ext/mbstring/libmbfl -I/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-7.4.19/ext/mbstring/libmbfl/mbfl -I/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-7.4.19/TSRM -I/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-7.4.19/Zend -I/usr/include -g -O2 -fvisibility=hidden -Wall -Wno-strict-aliasing -DZEND_SIGNALS -c /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-7.4.19/ext/fileinfo/libmagic/apprentice.c -o ext/fileinfo/libmagic/apprentice.lo

Changed secure_php option from no to yes

PHP has been secured.

Restarting php-fpm74.

And here's the contents of the custombuild.log file:

And of course, it won't load on port 2222. Since this is a trial of a product, I sorta expected it to just install. Any ideas?

I tried again using Ubuntu 18.04 and got the exact same error.

It is shortage of RAM/swap.

Silly me, assuming that a custom image from an ISP would INCLUDE swap... There was NO swap defined at all. Fixed that and now the install is booking along. Thanks so much for the pointer!
