    What doesn't DA install on ipv6 in 2026?

    Are you sure or are you looking at CloudVPS? Because if I look at dedicate servers, still 1 ipv4 is delivered for free. DA is way ahead with ipv6 as DA can run on ipv6 only if I'm correct, but the way more expensive cPanel still can not and have other ipv6 little issues as I experienced. So DA...

    What doesn't DA install on ipv6 in 2026?

    That's not where the install is. Try this: sh <(curl -6 -fsSL https://download.directadmin.com/setup.sh) '__insert_your_license_key_here__' Next to that, I thought a server still required minimal 1 ipv4 still. I could be wrong.

    Exim not working

    It was a response to your arrogance which was over the top and I already clearly stated I will ignore this thread, so don't worry.

    How to link backups to an external storage device

    Yep, we're already using Softaculous for more than a decade now. It works great on DA, has great support too, now it has the free Backuply also with a year license, and it's a lot cheaper than Installatron, and better too I might add.

    How can I to change http://ip-address:2222 to https://ip-address:2222

    Oh well then it can be used. However, it's better and easier to connect via a domain name, easier to remember too. And no need for manual integration and stuff. :)

    How to link backups to an external storage device

    When you have a Softaculous license, you can also get Backuply for free if I'm not mistaken. If it's only for admin, then you don't need Softaculous but you can also use the build in FTP option to an external server.

    How can I to change http://ip-address:2222 to https://ip-address:2222

    You are correct. But that's why I wrote it's not available, because it's only for max. 7 days and here it's intended to visit te DA interface, so not suitable.

    Exim not working

    Assumptions? You should read again. Be glad that I took the effort to translate the error notice. If you want to be rude about somebody offering help..... a grep does not mean the port is really open. If you don't have the knowledge on how to really test if ports are open or not, then don't...

    Solved Problème Let’s Encrypt : impossible de générer un certificat pour mysql.domain.tld

    With the same error? The name must be reachable. If you use http://mysql.yourdomain.com in your browser, do you get an error or not? If yes, than that is the reason LE can't issue a certificate either. Otherwise I don't know what's going on.

    Exim not working

    Please next time translate errors to English before posting. Time-out during connection. If this for incoming mail, then it looks like your port 25 incoming is not open check that. If it is for outgong mail, them probably port 25 outgoing is not open. Might be that the datacenter is not...

    Solved Problème Let’s Encrypt : impossible de générer un certificat pour mysql.domain.tld

    You might need to add it to the letsencrypt list in the/var/log/directadmin/confdirectadmin.conf file. Normally this looks like: letsencrypt_list=www:mail:ftp:pop:smtp since mysql is only a DNS record and no real subdomain you might need to change it to this...

    Exim not working

    This does not mean Exim is not working, this is a normal message for root mails. If you want this message to be removed, then edit the /etc/aliases file and at the bottom change the root mail to your mail, so remove the # and set like this: root: [email protected] change the mail address to...

    reading exim log

    Except for the maillog as far as I know there is no extra log. Normally the message you see in the first log is shown in the mainlog too, but since you're sending via Spamexperts, that part might be in their mailserver log and thus not showing up in your Exim as your Exim delivered it to...

    A lot of "missing passwd_alt file", also on non-suspended accounts. What is this?

    I just remembered something which might com in handy, but it's insecure so only use it to check what is happening. There is a trick to have Dovecot log the passwords used. You need to set this in the dovecot.conf file: auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_debug = yes and ofcourse restart Dovecot. If...

    How can I to change http://ip-address:2222 to https://ip-address:2222

    Ofcourse it's safe if you use the https://domain.com:2222 or https://server.domain.com:2222 because it's SSL. There might be people trying to bruteofice http://ip.ad.re.ss:2222 but that doesn't matter as it does not matter if they bruteforce with or without https. The s in https is only stating...

    A lot of "missing passwd_alt file", also on non-suspended accounts. What is this?

    Yeah I had a customer stating that too. Did you verify this in the /var/log/maillog file? Because as said, I had a customer stating that too and then I discovered another local ip was trying to log in too. You can see the local ip's too in the log. So then I could ask him about other devices...

    How can I to change http://ip-address:2222 to https://ip-address:2222

    Not. There are no long term SSL's for ip adresses. An SSL for an ip address is something completely new. As far as I know only Letsencrypt is issueing them now and only for a very short period like 1 week or something like that. I don't think DA supports that already at the moment, also because...

    Issue with using external dns provider

    Port 53 is just DNS and is opened by default. You can't close it anyway, because the external DNS makes use of it to contact the local DNS. I've run my own nameservers on Directadmin for many years and never had issues, especially since some years DA closes a security issue by default so nothing...

    Issue with using external dns provider

    That's not how it works. Directadmin always needs to create records to be able to work anyway, even locally. So if you use an external DNS then point 1 in the answer of Active8 apply's to you. In that case the records created by DA are user locally. So if you point for a WWW A record from your...

    Migrating from Cpanel

    Normally their passwords for mail will be retained so for mail there should be no isseus normally. However, there is something else to keep in mind. Check the maximum length of a mysql database account. In cPanel the username part is often more than 10 characters. You might need to raise that...
