Damn, Just found this. We have a VPS which has a DA licence built in to the price provided by the data center. We've now lost the ability to administer the server via GUI. Kinda feel in this instance that maybe the panel should go read only rather than die?

Hi All, We seem to have some performance issues with one of our servers whenever MySQL is involved. Pages that are pure HTML load very quickly. With many of our clients now running Wordpress based sites, we’ve got a few complains. We’re not sure why there is a big wait to lookup any database...

Howdy all. I have a number of clients that use Microsoft Exchange as their primary mail server, with emails being directly delivered to their exchange server. These customers I also host their websites on my Directadmin box, so after the domain has been added to Directadmin, I remove the...

Is this figure inbound only, outbound only, or combined? Different data centres meter / charge their data differently and I'm trying to compare DA's figure to theirs. Thanks :)

Hello, I tried to install an SSL certificate on my admin domain, my admin domain is the shared server IP. Working through the DA instructions it all worked perfectly, however the Snakioil certificate was the one the browser kept getting sent. So I decided to move the domain I wanted this to...

Hello all. I have an issue on my FreeBSD 5.5 / DirectAdmin server regarding spam. Despite having the spam settings set to delete spam, occasionally emails, that have been marked as spam, are being delivered. I was chasing Spam Assassin for a while, but John from DA support pointed out that it...

Hello. This morning exim didn't seem to be working on my server, and I found lots of this sort of message in the system messages log: I restarted the box, all seemed fine. But now any php mail scripts can't send mail to any local domains (contact forms - etc) with this in system messages...

Hello, I have read the valuable information on transferring accounts over: here http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=57 I have essentially done a few accounts manually and this works fine, especially given I have different versions of FreeBSD & DA on the boxes. My question is regarding...

Hello, Today I copied a large file into the folder /root – which actually filled the / partition. A user tried to add a new mail account, and after doing so found all their existing mail accounts not showing up in DA. I removed the large file which created space in the / partition, but exim...

Hello, I have moved a new customer to my DA / FreeBSD 5.3 Box recently. The customer has a point of sale system that uses email to communicate with other remote POS systems at other stores. Their system, sends emails out with the addresses in the 'to' field like this...

Hello, I've got exim running off a different IP because the main server IP is dirty, must have been used for spamming previously. I wish to change the SPF record for all zone files. I have updated the spf record in the named.db template - and can get it to re-write domain zone files for each...

I have user who has created a new mailbox. They want all their emails & address book data copied over from the old user to the new. I have found that all this data is stored under a folder made up of the email address located here: /var/www/html/webmail/tmp It works, but doesn't copy their...

I've noticed I have several users who have used more than their allowed disk quota. Ie: user has used 189.3/100 DA sends out email notifications to the user & admin, but it doesn't stop the user from uploading more. How come?

When I am keying in lots of POP3 accounts, each time after I submit the POP3 account, the only link I get is the 'back to pop3 list' link. I have to go there, then click the 'Add a pop3 account' link. When you have submitted a pop3 account, and the screen shows the name, password & server...

First of the month, or the anniversary date the account was created? Have searched for quota AND reset, quota AND period & got nothing.
