what you mean?

the domain manger is point to the ip.
what do you mean point your dns to the ip????
i think its point
domain: spdhost.co.il
ip: 217.79.190.127
 
And check /etc/httpd/httpd.conf. Make sure there's an include to /etc/httpd/extra/directadmin-vhosts.conf, which should contain the references to your websites. :)

I reinstalled last week and had to replace that directadmin-vhosts.conf file with the one I backupped. :)

Did you do an install for the first time with directadmin or dit do a reinstall where you had directadmin before?

As for a new install well you have to login to DA by using http://<ip>:2222. Once logged in you can add domains which will then be saved to the file I mentioned before.

If you have used DA before and did a new insatll I assume you made a backup before updating/installing DA. Try copying the directamdin-vhosts.conf file from you backup to /etc/httpd/conf/extra.

I assumed you had a working DA before. If not and it is your first time to use DA then you have to create domains, subdomians ftp accounts, email accounts and databases if your site works with databases. :)

Once created the domain/subdomain and and FTP account you can upload your website to the public_html folder. Note: subdomains appear as a subfolder in your domain/public_html folder.

Hope this helps. :)
 
The domain is now properly pointing to a placeholder site on the server, as it should.

I figured something else out. Maybe it's your problem too. Suddenly my websites gave the page "It works" too. Which means apache is functioning but it's not reading the right config files. So I checked my /etc/rc*.d by using the following:
find /etc/rc*.d | grep apache2
find /etc/rc*.d | grep httpd

If found out that my runlevels from rc2.d till rc5.d from apache2 were named like this:
Apache2: /etc/rc2.d/S20apache2
httpd: /etc/rc2.d/S20httpd

In my case both start with S20 and apache2 got started first. I changed the name for http in the rc2.d till rc5.d levels to S19httpd and everything worked again.

I also tried running "update-rc.d httpd defaults" first and then the same for apache2, but that didn't work. Ofcourse I had to remove the apache2 and httpd before I could run update-rc.d. So the name in my runlevels were causing the problem of apache functioning normally.

BTW I have debian 6 as my OS.
I updated rc.d by the following (after removing the apache2 and httpd from my rc*.d first):
update-rc.d httpd defaults 20
update-rc.d apache2 defaults 21

I rebooted and everything worked fine again. :)


Hope this helps someone. :)

You should only have one apache (httpd) installed on your system. If you have both an Apache2 and httpd init script, then something during the installation went wrong. I use CentOS and I know the DirectAdmin install scripts uninstall all the software that would be replaced by their customized versions (httpd, ftp, named,...). I am guessing the Apache2 was installed by default by the OS and the httpd was installed by DirectAdmin.
 
Ill have a look, but I think apache got installed for the second time because I installed ffmpeg or ffmpeg-php from a package. :)

Thanks for the heads up. :)
