Your montior!
DirectAdmin doesn't want to start automatically after a system re-boot. May I ask what is the command to start DA manually? I forgot what it was.

Oh, and here is the error in the error log:
2006:07:31-04:27:03: ioctl can't find the server's ip address for vmnet0
2006:07:31-04:27:03: The ip of this machine () does not match the ip in the license file.<br>


Please help,
Jared
 
Hello,

Type:

/sbin/ifconfig

which will dump out a list of ethernet devices on your system.
Edit your /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf and set:

ethernet_dev=devicename

where devicename is the name of the device holdig that IP address.

When you see the device with that IP, you should be able to type:

/sbin/ifconfig devicename

and it will dump out the information, which should include your server IP address.

If it's not running, the dataskq will probably start it for you without doing anything, but the command is:

Linux:
/sbin/service directadmin start

Debian:
/etc/init.d/directadmin start

FreeBSD:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/directadmin start

I usually do a "restart" instead of start, in case it's already running.

It worked for me, my ethernet was called enp2s0, I think it's the new format or anything.
