Something horribly went wrong, I think that a directadmin auto-update went beserk!

My directadmin installation has 0b files.
directadmin: 0 bytes

root@server5:/usr/local/directadmin# ls -la /usr/local/directadmin/
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 8 diradmin diradmin 4096 Feb 12 00:10 .

My entire directadmin seems just gone?
I'm not on the wrong server, I'm 100% confident this was a working installation 2 weeks ago...

Inodes and df -h show no errors.

Yes, that was not the issue.

Reply from da support ticket:
Please use this article to manually update your DA and get it working back: https://docs.directadmin.com/direct...ng-da.html#manual-update-using-cli-commandsIt will restore your DA files in /usr/local/directadmin/ folder.

@DA: This was very very scary, can't you fix your code to never install an update if the file size is 0 bytes or if the hash is incorrect after download. Updating with 0 bytes files is very risky...
