DA is down, dont know how to restart

[Rainner]

Hi,

Our DA is down and I cannot reach it...
Our mail was down so I was going ot use the DA panel to restart it but then found DA was also down.

but
I can ftp in
I can also SSH in no prob.

We have activity on streaming audio for clients so we do not want to restart the server at this time.

Is there anyway to restart DA from root access? or ?

Thank you for any help...

George

type "service directadmin start" to start up DA, if it says already running go "service directadmin restart" if that doesnt work then what OS are you using?

edit - oops you need to type this into SSH terminal while connected to the server.

the same is here

type "service directadmin start" to start up DA, if it says already running go "service directadmin restart" if that doesnt work then what OS are you using?

edit - oops you need to type this into SSH terminal while connected to the server.

unfortunately, trying to type "service directadmin restart" or "service directadmin start" and got output:

service: not found

any advise pls

OS:FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE

Added:

if i type wrong pass (via DA) i got:

DirectAdmin Login Page
Invalid login. Please verify your Username and Password

but if i type right pass - > the page refreshed only and nothing else

What OS are you running? The service command is exclusive to the Redhat linux distro's (including CentOS since it is a mimic of RHEL) so the command may differ for you. You need to find where the init script is stored on your system and use that to restart it. Example for FreeBSD you would run

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/directadmin restart

and for the DA refreshing problem, try restarting MySQL and Apache as well.
