Ok I reinstalled freebsd on my test direct admin server.

FreeBSD5.2.1

I installed direct admin which is the latest version as of this time 1.23.0. I think a change in a previous direct admin version which adds the server name to the name servers caused a problem which was stopping me add the main domain as there was already entry in the nameserver, so I removed the entry in the nameserver and added the domain.

But now httpd stops and wont restart, here is the error.
Starting httpd: [ OK ]
httpd: bad group name admin

the group is set to apache in httpd.conf not admin so I am not sure what is going on.

If I remove the domain httpd works again.
 
First find the httpd command.

whereis httpd

Then do an "ls -al" on the path to the executable to see who it's owned as.

sorry got this fixed I should have mentioned.

There is a group line in the include file for the user admin and it sets group to admin, but I have no group admin so I just did a pw groupadd admin and its now fixed.

the httpd is owned by root:wheel
