DA won't load after fresh install

[ababneh]

Hi,

Just finished installing DA on Centos 5.3 64 bit OS. it seems all went well and it gave me my credentials at the end of install to access DA and the link (http : // my ip:2222).
But when I go there, the page won't open:

Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to ip:2222
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at ip:2222

what's went wrong?
Is it possible I loaded the wrong binaries?
coz during install it said DA was going to install on Enterprise 5.7
ES 5.0 64 is what is listed in my client area, and my previous server had centos 64 so I didn't think I had to change OS in client area.


I tried
/etc/init.d/directadmin start
and got the OK

I tried
/usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status
and got permission denied

If I point to server ip without the (:2222), I get: Apache is functioning normally

[toml]

First, make sure your firewall isn't blocking port 2222 (iptables --list). Then, look at the log files in /var/log/directadmin do they show it dying for some reason. Also you may want to do a 'ps -eaf | grep directadmin' to see if you see the running processes.

If it isn't running, then the log files are your best bet as to helping debug the issue.

Hi,
It is not a firewall problem since I had DA previously working fine on the same computer and network. But running
iptables --list gives:


Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

and finally to check running processes:

ps -eaf | grep directadmin
Here is what I got:

root 6125 3497 0 00:41 pts/0 00:00:00 grep directadmin


so what do you guys think?

[toml]

2011:10:19-23:04:12: ioctl can't find the server's ip address for ES 5.0 64 : No such device
2011:10:19-23:04:12: The ip of this machine () does not match the ip in the license file.<br>
Check the value of your ethernet_dev=ES 5.0 64 setting in your /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf file and the output of /sbin/ifconfig<br>

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

That is your problem, it can't detect the IP address which means that it won't match your license. Look at /usr/local/directadmin/data/conf/directadmin.conf and make sure your ethernet device is set correctly.

It should be this line:


ethernet_dev=eth0

Thanks toml. it worked after changing the ethernet device to eth0. :D
