can't connect to admin port remotely

[gribbler]

After an OS upgrade from FreeBSD 7.x to 8.x. I've read a few suggestions and nothing has worked so far:

root@host01:~ # telnet x.x.x.x 2222
Trying x.x.x.x...
telnet: connect to address x.x.x.x: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
root@host01:~ # telnet 127.0.0.1 2222
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
root@host01:~ # telnet localhost 2222
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

in the directadmin.conf:

ethernet_dev=re0

and lauunching in debug mode for the above connection attempts:

root@host01:/usr/local/directadmin # ./directadmin b900
Debug mode. Level 900

IP Aliases found on re0:

Cannot find first space after where GET or POST should be

DNS was problematic to get going after the upgrade, I don't think it's that but might be..

where/what can i start checking further to supply this thread with some more info and help find an answer? Thanks

You might have to contact directadmin to update your license to the new version of FreeBSD. It may be different and thats why it is not running properly.

I am agree with chatwizrd, you should need to contact directadmin that surely quite best solution for you.

Turns out it was OS moved from FreeBSD 7.x 32 bit to 8, 32 bit. Unsupported. Rebuilt server to 9.1. All good. Thanks guys
