Freebsd 5.3 ( Well Supported )
John is an AMAZING tech support for 5.3. I learnt a lot (i think not enough though) to get my server going. I love this guys
These are the outstanding issues and how they were resolved one at a time.
I build my system using a clean freebsd 5.3 system.
1. Apache keeps failing
Resolution :
1. Login in as admin
2. type su ( super used)
3. type in su's password ( normally the same as root )
4: type /usr/local/etc/rc.d/httpd restart
2. Everything seems fine but the world cannot seem to see your server
Resolution :
Fix the /etc/namedb/named.conf:
1. Login in as admin
2. type su ( super used)
3. type in su's password ( normally the same as root )
4. type vi /etc/namedb/named.conf:
5. type / 127
6. do the following
You'll want to make your /etc/namedb/named.conf look like:
// $FreeBSD: src/etc/namedb/named.conf,v 1.15.2.1 2004/09/30 23:36:07 dougb Exp $
//
// Refer to the named.conf(5) and named(8) man pages, and the documentation
// in /usr/share/doc/bind9 for more details.
options {
directory "/etc/namedb";
pid-file "/var/run/named/pid";
dump-file "/var/dump/named_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/stats/named.stats";
};
zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.root";
};
zone "server1.needtohost.com" { type master; file "/etc/namedb/server1.needtohost.com.db";};
zone "needtohost.com" { type master; file "/etc/namedb/needtohost.com.db";};
Once it looks like that, then type:
rndc-confgen -a -s 69.60.121.167
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/named restart
7. press dd to delete this line ONLY
8. type :wq
3. SquirrelMail stopped working
make sure xinetd is running. (inetd on freebsd)

4. Cannot change password for email!
that is because the file DOES NOT Exist
1. Login in as admin
2. type su ( super used)
3. type in su's password ( normally the same as root )
4. type vi /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/email_pass_change/index.html
5. type a
6. paste the following data below into the file
<html>
<head>
<title>
