Hello,

A few things to check:
Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin
cat /etc/debian_version
uname -m
id diradmin
./directadmin o
ls -la
ls -la data
and we can go from there.

Hello,

Ok, next check for admin's User folder:
Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/
ls -la data/users

If it's missing, try this again:
Code: 
./directadmin i
./directadmin p

Hello,

Got another report of this issue today.
I believe it's because of this new feature:
http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1499

Where the admin group may already exist before DA is installed.

For now, ensure there is no admin group on the system, eg
Code: 
userdel admin
groupdel admin
note, the groupdel command will fail if there was an admin user too.. only one of the above would work.. either way, ensure there is no admin group.

Of course, make sure you're not logged in as admin when you delete it.

I've already added a fix to 1.44.1 in the pre-release binaries, but it's not released yet, so for now, just remove admin, then run the finishing commands:
Code: 
./directadmin i
./directadmin p
commands to finish up the install.
