Hi All,

After years of Centos, it's time to replace them with AlmaLinux (9.5)
I did a minimum install, and tried to install DA with the given command:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://download.directadmin.com/setup.sh) 'My Licensekey'

At that point I get the error message: "Unable to detect download URL. Please make sure there are no problems with internet connectivity, IPv6 may be configured improperly."
I can login with SSH
I can ping download.directadmin.com from this server
I can download the install file like this: wget https://www.directadmin.com/setup.sh, but running it gives the same error
I disabled IPV6 by adding net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 and net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf

There is another thread on the forum, with exactly the same error, but no answers to it.

My question is, what causes this, and how to be able to procceed?

Maybe enable ipv6 before you install again, because that was not the culprit and you might want to use ipv6 nowadays.

Be sure to als setup your hostname (click) correctly before installation, saves a lot of extra work.
 
That worked, Thank you!
Somehow there where entries from my local windows network in there.

Richard, I do not want to use IPV6 and did setup the hostname.
But will read the link you've added, I probably will need it.
