    Unable to restore backups?

    I've successfully transferred a few accounts from an existing DA server to a new one using the Admin backup/restore. However, now I've got two accounts that just refuse to be restored. From what I see, DA extracts the user.conf file, creates the user and home directory then just dies without...

    Any problems with a cloned image for mass installs?

    It takes quite a while to get DA installed on a new server. So I'm wondering if it would cause any problem if I imaged an existing fresh install and use it for installing similar virtual dedicated servers, boot up the new server, then update the license information with the correct one? Or...

    Checking which account is getting excessive login attempts

    DA will block the IP after X attempts. But in the security log, it only indicates something along the lines of this 2011:04:27-13:56:11: 121.7.68.91 has tried to log in 30 times, unsuccessfully, this time into (null)'s account *** 2011:04:27-13:56:11: Adding 121.7.68.91 to the blacklist file...

    exim, external email hosting and internal mailing list

    I've got an odd situation with a client. They prefer to use gmail for their email because in their opinion, Google obviously must be more robust/reliable than any webhosting company. So we've set up their MX records to use gmail as their email server. But they have a mailing list on our server...

    PhpExpress vs Ioncube

    I'm evaluating between this two encoder/loader (Zend is way too expensive) so would like some opinions from anybody who are/had tried them before. Which would you guys recommend and any reasons to choose or avoid either?

    Blank Squirrelmail Inbox

    One of my user just started facing this problem when she tries to use squirrelmail. The inbox will show the correct mail count e.g. Inbox (107) but the area where the emails should be listed is blank. Searching for mails produces a list, as does selecting folders such as Sent and Trash. Just...

    DA setting up named differently after update?

    In the spate of misadventures with suPHP after the last update, I didn't notice this until a customer tried to create a new account/domain. Previously, when a new domain was setup, DA puts the named config file for the domain in /var/named/chroot/var/named with a link of the same name in...

    Help with suphp mess

    I've been having problems after the latest DA update whenever a user make changes via DA, the template causes httpd to die with the error "Invalid command 'suPHP_UserGroup'" Initially, I fixed this by removing the suPHP lines in httpd config since I don't run suphp. But this certainly isn't a...

    Emails disappearing for just one domain

    It's a very weird situation that has me tearing my hair out. Users on domain InternalA.com on my server complains for some reason they stopped receiving emails from senders from external domain ExternalA.com Senders at ExternalA.com does not get any failed messages. As far as they are...

    /tmp permissions?

    After rebooting the server due to an unexplained freeze, squirrelmail stopped working. Looking into the issue, it appeared that it was unable to save sessions data. Apparently, /tmp became 755 so php couldn't write session data. Now, it seems to me that I've inadvertently changed something...

    webmail users option to set password & responders?

    Is there anyway to allow webmail users to change their own password, autoresponders and forwarders instead of requiring the domain's administrative user to do it from DA? Thanks!

    Recommended forum software?

    Not directly related to DA, but which free forum software would you guys recommend? I know phpBB is often used but it also appears to be often and easily hacked. I don't want supporting one client's requirements to bring the entire server down or something if they get hacked. :( Yet at the...

    Multiple MX entries

    Actually not sure if this should belong in DNS or Email but this seems more appropriate. I'm trying to figure out a clean way to migrate my client on an existing server to a new server without them losing their emails. Their email clients are all set to check emails from pop3.somedomain.com or...

    Reverse lookup

    In my bid to resolve mail sending problems for my server, it seems that it might be due to a lack of a reverse IP lookup in my dns. The question now is, would it screw things up big time if I have two zones with reverse look up of the same IP? e.g. 123.123.123.123.in-addr.arpa PTR...

    mail() failure

    I have php4 (suphp/cgi) and php5 (mod) on the server. Roundcube doesn't send mail outside of the server so poking around, it was finally narrowed down to the fact external domains are rejecting sent emails because of error 553 "envelope sender domain must exist" Searching around, I come across...

    Exim, server does not support TLS/SSL?

    Freshly installed DA, I tried to enable pop3/smtp with TLS and the email client replies that the server does not support TLS/SSL. I've checked exim.conf and it has the entries for the .cert and .key files. as well as the line for tls_advertise. The files also exist where they are supposed to...

    Changing server name after install?

    I got DA installed on the server originally using name1.com However, there's some snag trying to create our own dns using ns1.name1.com and ns2.name2.com So we decided the faster way to solve this is to register a new domain name2.com and use ns1.name2.com and ns2.name2.com Would changing the...

    How clean is a clean install?

    I'm setting a CentOS 5 server for directadmin install. The installation instructions is rather vague, perhaps only because I'm such a newbie, about clean install. My first attempt at browsing through the install tree and unselecting services did not turn out quite well. Somehow exim got...

    Deviations from DA Installation

    According to the DA page on Installation Requirements there is a list of what get installed. Can we request for a different version to be installed instead? specifically Apache 2.x instead of 1.3.x PHP 5.x instead of 4.x MySQL 5.x instead of 4.x Can we also request for specific Apache mods to...

    Same license same server but different IP?

    I'm looking to run my own server after years as a reseller and thinking of using DA. However, I'm wondering if I can use one license on a single server that serves two IP addresses? This is because one IP is reserved for VIP client's needs and has higher bandwidth (speed not transfer volume)...
