February 22nd is an important date in the U.S. because it's the birthday of our first Presidet, George Washington. It's also my father's birthday, and though he's been gone for almost 20 years, we're still celebrating his Centennial; he was born on February 22, 1915. I'm going to be...

On multiple servers backing up up to our in-house backup server(but not all of them)... Control Panel screen 'Admin Backup/Transfer', section 'Active Backups' says backup is still active. Started September 24th. This of course is an anomaly because we've had successful daily backups every...

I'm hoping no one will get too angry at me; I felt that Official DirectAdmin Announcements would be the best place to post this. I got it today in an email from Red Hat. It appears a fix may already be available in CentOS yum repository (and of course in the yum repository as well.) Test for...

We can make successful backups on a slightly stale version of DirectAdmin, and then move them to a new server running a different slightly stale version of DirectAdmin. They won't restore: Unable to extract user.conf, reseller.conf or ip.list from...

I did # ./build update and then # ./build update_versons today on one of our CentOS 6 servers and it stopped when trying to build exim. Please install ExtUtils::Embed for /usr/bin/perl I found this page in the Knowledge Base: Please install ExtUtils::Embed for /usr/bin/perl. None of the three...

Time to set up a DirectAdmin Wiki? Maybe. Post in another thread picked up some interest so time to open a new thread here. I've got a few domains which would be perfect. I've got the room for a machine, even a machine which would get lots of hits. I'm willing to supply the following hardware...

This thread is a continuation of a topic discussion here. Point is how to park domains relatively obscurely (complete obscurity fairly impossible given new rules on email addresses, mail addresses, etc., must be real or registrars will cancel domain registrations). I have some pieces in place...

This is an immediate job opportunity and I'll post when it's been filled. I need someone to work with me to teach me how to create a VM (as in KVM) virtual machine template for Proxmox, and to install it on my new Proxmox server. Proxmox seems very good and has a great module available for...

I'm soliciting applications for the part time (contract) position) of webmaster/site designer. Graphic skills a must. You must have your own software capable of working with PSD files. Experience with WordPress a must. Experience with WHMCS a plus. Experience with DirectAdmin a plus. This...

We're getting a report from cron-daily which trips our mime filter in the ClamAV configuration: 550-This message contains malformed MIME (demime acl condition: 550 line length in message or single header size exceeds 131071 bytes) I don't want to change the limit, but I'm thinking it's...

As part of building a new system Ireplaced mysql's configuration with the one at /usr/share/mysql/my-large.cnf. I started mysql, and decided to rebuild roundcube: ./build clean ./build update ./build roundcube I get this error at the bottom: Roundcube 0.9.5 has been installed successfully...

There are some threads on converting from proftpd to pure-ftpd, but I haven't found one yet on converting from pure-ftpd. We have a client who cannot login to pure-ftp. His client attaches but never gets back anythijng at all, and eventually times out. Tried with multiple clients. Logs show...

I've found what some might consider a bug. I had a reseller with one site which wouldn't run after a PHP version change, so we moved him to a machine still running the old version: We first backed up and restored the reseller (no users) to the server running the older version of php. Then we...

Is this bugfix feature somehow broken? http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=814 I moved some accounts between two servers, da21 to da15. The sites all worked fine when I first moved them. But about eight hours later I made backups of email only: email accounts and email data. For...

On a new server installation: CentOS 6.4 (Final), DA 1.44.0, Custombuild 2, mod_ruid2 Perl scripts don't work: http://www.nobaloney.net/cgi-bin/environment.pl The script runs fine from the command line, and CGI is turned on. shell cgi scrits work fine...

Anyone have or care to write a program we can run periodically on our servers to monitor exim queue size? Perhaps something like this: if output of 'exim bpc' > x then send email or perhaps a bit more sophisticated: if output of 'exim -bpc' > x then run 'exiqgrep -z -i | xargs exim -Mrm' if...

I'm posting this as a user issue because I have no reason to believe it's a server issue, but I just don't know. One of my resellers is reporting some, but not all, of his wordpress sites, are running extremely slow, taking minutes (in some cases) to come up or move between pages). Other sies...

I've Googled, but can't find an answer that resolves the issue on my latest server. One client has a site that worked fine on a crashed older server but on this one fails because of ExecCGI. I've tried to fix it but haven't found anything that works. We tried: <Directory |DOCROOT|>...

Now that many users keep their mailstore on the server and use IMAP access, redundant mail storage is becoming more imortant. Have you tried to build it? Please share your thoughts. What solutions worked for you? And what solutions didn't work? Thanks. Jeff

Do you use MySQL replication between servers? Locvally or over the 'net? Does it work well? Do you ever ave faioures? When you have a failure, what are the symptoms? Thanks. Jeff
