Does changing settings in custom built edit software option will take effect

[Amit]

Hi I am confused with option provided in directadmin for edit settings like mysql version php versions and many more, does changing those options from directadmin custome build will take effect or I need to issue some command after changing that value to effect on server. Please explain.

After changing you have to use some commands.
Suppose you change the ioncube setting to yes, then you have to give the following commands:
./build update
./build ioncube
from the custombuild directory

You can find all commands by just giving the ./build command which will generate an output with all options.

Normal updates (for example php 7.3.28 to 7.3.29 you can do with:
./build update
./build update_versions

OK then I think there is no use of gui option given in custome built if you have to issue commands.

Did you even try to have a look at it?
I'm a real admin I never use GUI custombuild, so I specially had to take a look for you, looks like you're a bit lazy.

The GUI custombuild does have options to edit the options.conf and a button to build software etc.. So you can do all from within the GUI.
Please have a look first before making assumptions.

Sorry I am new to directadmin do not have much knowledge of how things work in directadmin. can you suggest me any guide to learn more about directadmin adminstration level of tasks?

You can do this from the Custom Build 2.0 link from your DA and click on the Build software, from there you can rebuild, just like ./build php command you can do this by the custom build GUI, please inspect your CB plugin to see more options like /.build rewrite_confs (is in Update Software Configuration)

No sorry there are none. A lot of things are self explaining, it's just a question of attentively reading what it says. Also a lot can be found in the help files or just using Google like:

question i have directadmin

as search term, which almost always points to solutions on the forums you can use.

In this case, you only had to look at the custombuild plugin to see what it can do and what options are present, that has little to do with being new.
