Hi I have a problem, I cant login to my directadmin panel.

EDIT: I got e-mail from my server message system, saying
--------
A new message or response with subject:

*** MYIP has been added to the ip_blacklist file ***

has arrived for you to view.

What am I going to do??? I dont know why I got banned, cause I have not typed wrong pass or anything?

I have root acces can I unban in someway?

My server has following configuration:
Linux Centos with DirectAdmin

Dedicated server with root access

sshd *** Stopped *** (I stopped it because my websites dont need it, in logs I could see that some sites, I dont know, were trying to acces it?)
vm-Pop3d 1.1.7f-DA-2 Running


When I try to login in to http://www.nicheserver.com:2222 I cant get in?

This problem started after I closed ssl and restarted the server, can this have something to do with it?

My sites work fine but I cant access Directadmin?

First time I tried to login after restart i could see the login site, and after I typed my user- and password in, I get to

Internet Explorer's standard error saying the website can not be shown.

Then after the first time when I try to go to http://www.nicheserver.com:2222 - Now I cant even see the login site???

Whats happening please help me

I also have following thread but when I posted there my post wont show up, I dont know why?

Hello,

1) check the /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/ip_blacklist to see if your IP is there. Remove it if it is.

2) Yes there is a whitelist, it's:
/usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/ip_whitelist
http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=705

3) note, that viewing the login page to get to / the fist time is considered 1 failed login attempt, so I never recomend very low values for this setting. 10 is probably as low as you'd want to go. Setting it to 2 would mean you'd get 1 try. If you're getting blacklisted after one attempt, you'd need to check the /var/log/directadmin/security.log to see how many attempts it thinks youve used. It's possible that if crond isn't running, the data/admin/login.hist never gets cleared from old failures (it clears the count in 5 minutes I believe) so if that isn't cleared, it could add up if you don't ever completely login.
