directadmin not working

[seachen]

[root@vps5356 ~]# service directadmin status
directadmin dead but pid file exists
[root@vps5356 ~]# reboot

How to solve this error?

 

[zEitEr]

service directadmin restart
ps aux | grep -v grep | grep directadmin
tail /var/log/directadmin/error.log

???

well a solution should be remove the directadmin's pid file.. but honestly i dont know where it is...

On my CentOS servers it's at /var/run/directadmin.pid, but you can be sure:

locate directadmin.pid

try running it in the foreground

[root@es01 ~]# cd /usr/local/directadmin/
[root@es01 directadmin]# ./directadmin

You'll probably see

Unable to read config file. Unable to open /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf for reading.<br>

Unsure as to the solution just yet but if I figure it out I'll post back.

well i dont think is related for this problem cause was regarding the pid so was just to remove the file that hasnt been removed automatically for some reason and then just restart directadmin.
