I attempted to login to my fairly new (less than 6 month's old I think) DA system as admin and got a license expired message. Before I go any further, I wanted to say that this server is on one of my three lifetime licenses which it seems are now considered not so great anymore and well...

Things have been running well, email wise on our newest DA server until Saturday morning. We use a third party SPAM filtering company by the name of Greenview Data, now owned by Zix. This is only for one of our customer's domains. They must be able to connect to us to push mail to our DA server...

I see this: This account has been suspended. Please contact your website hosting service directly. If you are unsure who your website hosting provider is, you can contact ... But... DA does not show it as suspended in the user list. I also tried unsuspending, no change. I tried suspending it...

I know this might not be a big deal to some but... For me, I use the Chrome plugin for LastPass to login to just about everything. I have always used it to login to my DA servers and I'm sure many of my customers do the same. The new Evolution skin is nice but, it seems impossible to login...

I am curious which larger hosting companies offer DirectAdmin. It seems that most I find only offer cPanel.

Fresh DA server install on AlmaLinux. I followed this guide as part of my task to secure the new server: https://docs.directadmin.com/operation-system-level/securing/general.html#basic-system-security Regarding item number 8: Enable mod_security.open in new window See the CustomBuild Faqopen...

I am adding a new DA server which I do NOT want to handle DNS on locally for domains added to the server. I have other DA servers where I do handle DNS for the domains on these servers. I have decided that I prefer to run DNS externally for this new server. No issues setting up DNS externally...

I have followed https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=15 to enable LetsEncrypt to secure the DirectAdmin port 2222. Works great but I am wondering if it will auto-renew like the websites do once enabled. When I enable and install it on a user account for a domain on the server, a customer's...

I keep getting this message in Wordpress sites: You cannot update because WordPress 5.2.1 requires PHP version 5.6.20 or higher I checked my PHP version at the command line and it shows: PHP 5.5.38 (cli) (built: May 22 2019 21:49:29) I followed the instructions in several post from your...

I have a need to purchase an SSL cert with very specific requirements. The cert must be a wildcard cert and must be from one of the certificate authorities below. So to be clear, it needs to be exact. If it says GeoTrust, that's not good enough, it must be exactly as shown below and must be a...

I have been happily running most of my domains on 2 DA servers for a while with a third DA server hosting domains I just hadn't moved yet. I finally have all the old domains moved to one of the two newer DA servers. The 2 new DA servers each run slave DNS for the other. Works great, I add a...

Over the last few months I seem to get this more often than not when trying to do things inside the DA control panel as administrator. For example, I just logged in as admin, typed part of a domain in the search box at the top, then click on one of the accounts in the resulting list. I get...

I have always had the per DA user limit turned on and set to 3-500 emails. I have always found this limit only somewhat useful for dealing with authenticated users spamming or through accounts which get compromised (password figured out). In more recent versions of DA, I noticed the per mailbox...

:confused: I know that anti SPAM configs are often based on the admins personal preferences but.. With that being said, has anyone written a guide or suggestions for best methods for securing a new DA server in terms of SPAM reduction? Some of the methods I have used in the past and are...

I have had several DA servers over the years and I just setup two new DA server running CentOS 6.4 I think after a yum update it's now 6.5. Of the two new servers I setup one allows PureFTPD logins and the other denies everything saying it's a bad password, it's NOT.. I have changed the...

I have been banging my head on this for hours. I have fail2ban working fine with Exim and SSH but can't for the life of me get it working with ProFTPd on my DA server. I have tried everything I have found on Google which wasn't much. Done tons of trial and error with the regex and so on. Just...

I setup 30 or 40 301 redirects in a DA account where I redesigned my website. I tested them in the browser, they worked etc. A few hours later I noticed a broken link which should have already been setup as a redirect. I logged into the DA account where I set these up and they are ALL gone...

I looked the instructions at: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=306 It states that I need to add the IP to the whitelist file to keep from getting blacklisted, but no luck. I have setup a monitor to load the login page every few minutes to make sure DA is up and running. This apparently...

I have a few DA servers and have never seen this issue before but seems to be happening on just one server. Let me start by saying this server is very suspect at the moment and we are migrating away from it because I no longer trust it for various reasons. Since it's suspect being able to load...

I have a few DA boxes in production and I am tired of users running things like Joomla, Wordpress and the like and not keeping them up to date and/or chmoding directories to 777. I have one user who chmoded the whole public_html dir as 777. I know I can try my best to crack down on my hosting...
