I maybe have discovered a weird password issue. But I don't know 100% sure if this is this version related or something else. But we never experienced this before.

So we experienced something very weird, newest DA version.
Freshly installed server with new DA admin pass we got after installation.

We restored the old admin account from old server, so we have alle correct settings from the main domain which is in there.
Ofcourse yes, the current admin passwords will be overwritten and then we need to use the old admin password to login again, that is well known.

To get the new passwords...
Your answer:
Password change after FTP and main account password desync issue is not new, but we will look into this, thanks.

Glad to see it's getting fixed now. ;)

@Dauser2007 and @HageHosting could it be that you have customized nginx configure script? The script was updated in DA 1.667 the official version in custombuild/configure/nginx/configure.nginx adds additional modules with --add-module=static_modules/ngx_cache_purge. Adding module with --add-module=../ngx_cache_purge was used in older DA.

Based on the error message it seems that configure script still uses old location.

Changes to the configure script is made to make sure nginx is being built in temporary directory and does leave temporary files dangling in...

Hi

Since this update, we cannot change the PHP version anymore via the users' DirectAdmin 'home' page.
When I click the button 'change', it says 'Feature disabled'.
However, it is still possible via Domain Setup > click domain > PHP Version Selecter in the upper right corner.
So it is a minor issue.

An update is released to fix a regression with password changing in Enhanced and legacy API (to allow changing system and FTP account passwords separately).

As I believe your license server is on Cloudflare and they are experiencing instability, several Directadmin installations that we manage are down after the update, displaying an error message when validating the license, and pointing to /evo/login/license-expired

Cloudflare Status

Welcome to Cloudflare's home for real-time and historical data on system performance.

How to solve this? Your license validation system should not take everyone offline due to an availability failure in your own license system.
 
DA services affected by this will retry and start automatically. It seems CF got it under control already. If CF would not be able to react quickly we have the infrastructure in place to bypass CF. Due to small scope of the incident and fast response from CF did not activate it.

Several servers that we manage had DirectAdmin down for an extended period of time and displayed an expired license message to all customers. This is critical and causes us great concern.

This incident makes it clear that the license validation system puts all customers at risk in the event of network instability, which can occur for a variety of reasons (routing problems, problems with Cloudflare itself, etc.). It is not expected that services will be down due to a problem with your license validation system, and only "some time" after your alternative infrastructure takes over.

It would be important for the license validation system to have a grace period, perhaps 24/48 hours, and during this period the administrator would only receive alert messages, but the panel would remain active.
