Just try to update DA using CLI commands, then custombuild will work right.

Hi everyone, recent DA versions no longer use versions.txt file from the mirrors (it is included and distributed in the DirectAdmin package). Furthermore DA/CB no longer uses multiple file mirrors - only one files.directadmin.com is being used (which uses global CDN to automatically cache files somewhere near your server).

If you see errors that versions.txt can not be downloaded it means you are using old DirectAdmin (and old CustomBuild). For non EOL distros the fix is easy - just update DA to the latest version. General help article for that is available in the docs. For modern DA installations it can be done with a single command da update. For older DA versions update can be triggered via helper script /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/getDA.sh current. For extremely old DA versions completely manual DA upgrade can be done by following instruction on docs website. Also update via GUI is also always an option as well.

However if you are running EOL distro - Debian 9 or older, RHEL 6 or older the solution is to upgrade your server OS to a non EOL one. If you want to continue running legacy OS you can continue using DA, and DA will continue to work but CustomBuild will throw errors. Actually for EOL distros CustomBuild were not receiving any updates for quite some time now, however CB was not throwing any errors since stale versions.txt was left on our mirrors. We have recently done a cleanup and versions.txt file was removed from the mirrors (because it is not needed by modern DA and CB anymore). This in turn have made EOL distros to start throwing errors when trying to update CB (and download versions.txt) rather than silently getting same old versions.txt file.
