You are running CentOS 7, so why don't you just do:

systemctl restart directadmin.service

You are running CentOS 7, so why don't you just do:

systemctl restart directadmin.service

Because then there is no feedback if the operation success or not...
Do you know how to fix it?

You see more info by doing

systemctl status directadmin

Do you know the reason why the old way not work? And how to fix it?

It's a change made my Red Hat / CentOS and also Debian is following this change. I'm not into Linux this deep to understand the full background of it, just that it's this way now.

Usually, if the daemon you restart fails, it will output you so and a journal command to debug it.
