Try disabling CFS's LF_LOOKUPS and maybe also ST_LOOKUP if it is enabled.

Possible DNS lookup issue timing out on that server? Try disabling rsyncd reverse dns lookup. Or in ssh daemon disable DNS lookup.

It's already in the next beta. https://docs.directadmin.com/changelog/version-1.657.html#support-for-old-php-versions-on-modern-systems

It's possible, but it can take some work. I wouldn't recommened doing it if your not comfortable troubleshooting problems to make it work. https://forum.directadmin.com/threads/change-default-admin-username.64658/

Hopefully soon, looks like there is a patch in their repo. https://hg.nginx.org/nginx/rev/cdda286c0f1b

@johannes for my file level backups I have been using UrBackup, there's probably better options out there but been using it forever and haven't seen a need to switch. I configure it to backup /etc/, /home/, /var/, /usr/local/directadmin/... anything else I don't really bother as I can spin up a...

Cron jobs like that are dangerous, what happens if backups stopped for 8 days ago and you didn't notice and you needed to restore a backup. You would have no backups. Better to use folders for the last 7 days as was mentioned. I also like to go one step further and do a file level backup of...

If you really need to run old versions of PHP, would suggest switching to CloudLinux for your DirectAdmin install https://www.cloudlinux.com/security-features/?nab=0#hardened-php

Sounds like some system tuning needs to be done, probably getting held up on SQL queries. I would start with checking MySQL/MariaDB with MySQLTuner https://github.com/major/MySQLTuner-perl It will give you recommendations to make to your my.cnf

As an alternative, I have been telling customers to use PeaZip https://peazip.github.io/

I am completely fine if I have to pay for yearly updates (and no support for lifetime licenses). As long as it is a resonable amount. Just to thow a number out there say $100/year (for legacy/lifetime) just for updates and no support. Would at least make an addional source of income for them...

Directadmin 1.653 (bcc932d564d08fc7c419e2c69806239faf673ea9) alpha, Admin level System Info page is blank. If I switch to user level it works.

Just a suggestion, when restoring a lot of users with large MySQL/MariaDB databases it's a good idea to run mysqltuner after. If I know what I'm adding in advance, I will make the changes before migating everything to make everything go smoother (going by the settings from the previous...

Old thread, all info you need is there, needs to be done as root user.

OK, they don't probably care what version of curl is on the system. But it is a build dependency for many packages, so it's basically the first dependency it installs if missing from the package manager installed packages. Your removing it from yum installed packages works against how the...
