In the last few days I have been having a lot of issues with directadmin.

I have a lot of servers running it and now we seem to be having issues with latest installs.


1 httpd is having issues when it runs a tally every night, it is taking 2-3 mins for it to restart and run properly. I have even noticed when I do a fresh install after i get to the end of the install and try to access directadmin it takes a few mins for it to connect.

I get error page that it can't be found and then after a min or so I can click it and it will load properly. My customers are complaining that every night when tally runs httpd is down for anywhere from 1 -3 mins then comes back up.


I have even changed the /etc/init.d/httpd to

restart)
kill -USR1 `cat $PIDFILE`
;;

this seems to even make it worse.


2 this bind issue has me lost. I have read the threads here about it and can't decide what to do

if I add bind* to the yum exclude line yum will update fine however is this the best practice or what? I know there have been some bind issues and would like to have the latest version.

I use centos 5 minimal install and have not added bind except when directadmin installs it.

what is wrong with bind_chroot ? i have excluded it from the yum line and allowed it to update and everything seems fine with it installed. These are servers running 1 domain, is having bind_chroot a problem with servers running more than 1 domain.

can someone explain why we don't want it? I read here from support that we don't want it but why?


please shed some light on these 2 issues .
What is the best fix for this yum and bind issue?

Directadmin doesnt install bind your os installs that. It should be installed and updated with yum.
 
DirectAdmin has had reported problems with bind-chroot; you may want to search these forums.

i have searched these forums and still do not see an answer to why it causes problems.

no reply on the long httpd restart ?

this is getting very hard to deal with and my customers are wanting to switch from directadmin because of these latest issues
