Solved fatal directadmin service is not running, refusing to run error=executing request: Get "http://unix/license": dial unix /usr/local/directadmin/shared/

Ran through enabling automatic ssl certificates (https://docs.directadmin.com/webservices/ssl/automatic-ssl-certificates.html) on 2 DA servers. One worked great, one has the error shown below.

[root@s1v1 ~]# echo "action=ssl&value=admin_ssl" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue.cb
[root@s1v1 ~]# /usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d1245 --custombuild
2022/06/23 12:13:00 fatal directadmin service is not running, refusing to run error=executing request: Get "http://unix/license": dial unix /usr/local/directadmin/shared/internal.sock: connect: no such file or directory

Furthermore, any update in DNS, named needs to be restarted manually for changes to take affect. And any SSL updates, nginx needs to be updated manually for SSL to be found publicly.

TIA.
Jarrod.

Nevermind- a stop of directadmin, and a start again solved the issue (I had already restarted the directadmin service multiple times to no affect).

Good to know. Odd that this would not do the trick and a stop and start did. Thanks for sharing!
