First of all thanks for the detailed guide!
I’ve started trying the same thing on ubuntu

Fixed the setup.sh file with the first sed you gave
Then fixed the eth0:0 interface with my ip address

ifconfig output:

eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 12:31:3e:00:ec:e6
inet addr:**.**.46.55 Bcast:50.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

And than executed this:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts; while [ true ]; do sed -i ‘s/–bind-address=\$IP//; s/–bind-address=\${3}//;’ *.sh > /dev/null > 2&>1; sleep 10; done & sh /home/ubuntu/setup.sh user license host.com eth0:0 *.*.46.55

But unfortunately it outputs “You are not authorized to download the update package with that client id and license id for this IP address. Please email sales@directadmin.com”

Am i doing something wrong?

Thank you!

What do you do if you get this after running the whole command?

sed -i ‘s/–bind-address=\$IP//; s/–bind-address=\${3}//;’ *.sh > /dev/null > 2&>1; sleep 10;done & sh setup.sh 11111 22222 host.domain.com eth0:1 0.0.0.0
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `done’

I’m sorry I’m new to EC2… how do you setup Directadmin to work with an EBS?

The static public IP is the IP facing the Internet and not the private IP. As for the host name, you can just make one up but be sure to save it (hostname server.hostname.com).
