Hi,

I just upgraded my server with a second operon 270 dual core processor, and 2 GB ram. Named is failing all the time, and directadmin is not approachable. Does directadmin have isues working with 2 X 64-bit dual core processors?

# service directadmin status
directadmin dead but subsys locked

[root@xxxx run]# service directadmin start
Starting DirectAdmin: [ OK ]
[root@xxxx run]# ps waux | grep directadmin
root 2439 0.0 0.0 51176 692 pts/0 S+ 23:10 0:00 grep directadmin


It doesnt even run...

What the hell:

Unable to read config file. Cannot find the diradmin user. Make sure the diradmin user exists in your system.<br>
Segmentation fault
 
Hm, run
Code: 
cat /etc/passwd | grep diradmin
and check to see if thats true, if you see no output than the diradmin user really was removed from your system somehow. You can try running
Code: 
useradd -g diradmin -s /bin/bash -d /usr/local/directadmin diradmin
passwd diradmin
(enter in a password)
then try manually starting directadmin again.
 
Try
Code: 
su - diradmin
and see if it lets you in fine, if it does then check the permissions of the directadmin folder to see if the conf files are owned by diradmin:diradmin. Other than that I don't know, might want to email [email protected] about this.

I already e-mailed them, let's hope for a quick response!
Thanks for your help.

Hello,

Generally, the "cannot find diradmin" user error means binary incompatibility.

Let us know what OS this is (one of):

cat /etc/redhat-release
cat /etc/debian_version
uname -r

and include your license ID.. we can check on our end to see what binaries you have downloaded.
Also let us know if the OS is 64-bit or not.

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 4.4 (Final)

# uname -r
2.6.16.17

My OS is in fact 64-bit.
# uname -a
Linux xxxxx.xxxxxx.com 2.6.16.17 #1 SMP Mon May 22 04:13:34 EDT 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have emailed you my LID.
