Hello,

We're pleased to announce the release of DirectAdmin 1.46.0 Release Candidate 1, available for testing.
This is quite a large release with many large changes, so we'll be leaving it in RC for a while to allow for testing of these changes.

All changes are listed here, in the versions system:
directadmin.com/versions.php?version=1.460000

New Features:

Bugfixes:

RC2 additions:


Plus many more changes.
See the full list for more information.

As usual, you can download the new binaries from the pre-release section in your client account.

Please report any issues to this thread, but also report areas that you've tested which work fine.

Thanks!
John
 
lol I REALLY need to buy my own license (my setup is from a datacenter) so I can easily get the early releases.
the httpd/nginx custom configs is very useful.
 
Send us an email with your license ID and OS version, and we can send you the commands.

John,

Is Custombuild 2.0 stable enough to migrate from 1.2? I see some new features will work automatically with 2.0 but will need manual intervention with 1.2 or older.

Thanks!

The default features of CB2.0, I'd feel comfortable saying "yes" (mod_ruid2+mod_php), as they were tested in other guides long before CB added them.
That's not to say the other php methods are not ready (php-fpm, fastcgi)... but they just don't have as much testing under their belt. As far as we can see, they work fine.
With DA 1.46.0, the polish within DA for Nginx support is also much better as well (same as the nginx+apache proxy)... but similarly, more testing = better.

John
 
Some customers believe that nginx.conf and httpd.conf under user directories get rewritten automatically and get the latest updates instantly, so I would like to say that they do not get rewritten automatically together with DA update (pre-release or stable). If you'd like to get fixes having "(TEMPLATES)" change, please execute the following commands after update:
Code:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build rewrite_confs

If you wouldn't like to use full rewrite (including /etc/httpd/conf and /etc/nginx directories) using CustomBuild, please use the following commands:
Nginx:
Code:
echo "action=rewrite&value=httpd" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d

Apache:
Code:
echo "action=rewrite&value=nginx" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d

That's it!
 
I would say 2.0 is stable enough especially if you use it for the exact same options you run now.
the apache and normal php stuff seems solid to me.
the new stuff in cb2 may need a bit more polish but is by no means bad.

really DA and CB have come a long way in a short time, and for most part (only 1 item I can think of cpanel is easier on) are as easy to use as cpanel though the gui.
so even new people should be easily able to use it now.
 
Martynas has created an entire plugin to manage CustomBuild 2.0 through the GUI:
http://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=48989

Uses ajax and lots of other fun goodies :)

If you set:
ajax=1
in the directadmin.conf, then you also get ajax notices right on the main Admin login page for services updates, as well as plugin updates and DA/license updates.

just want to clarify and/or verify, in the GUI DA will still show as 1.45 and NOT 1.46 correct?
thanks.
