Gadget,
Keep in mind that the forum is for general "how to" requests. Specific problems with your server should be sent to
[email protected] (with a detailed description and root/admin passwords). ALL requests to the support e-mail are answered quickly.
In regards to your IRC problem:
I couldn't say why your system keeps "peer"ing users. It might be a network issue. DirectAdmin has no affect whatsoever on seperate daemons running on unrelated ports (6667). Someone with more knowledge in this area would be better suited to help you.
In regards to the FTP problem:
I can connect to FTP (globechat.org) without any timeouts, no server available, or invalid hostname messages. Could you e-mail us more specific error data? e.g. The username, IP you are connecting to, etc.
In regards to the PHP problem:
It is possible that PHP wasn't installed or was installed improperly. We'd need you to e-mail us with your client ID, root password, and permission to work on your system. We can't fix the problem over the forum.
Thanks,
Mark
