Hello,

Previously the DA was working on server-my-ip.da.direct:2222 I have now changed it according to me.
The directadmin is working fine with new hostname but it is also wotking with server-my-ip.da.direct:2222 without SSL.
I don't want to use it on server-my-ip.da.direct:2222 is it possible?
 
#./directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf
Code: 
ssl_redirect_host=your.hostname.com
force_hostname=your.hostname.com
and restart "directadmin.service"

these options should redirect all connection into your current hostname.

ahh forgot to mention.

/usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf

or via Admin "File Editor" in control panel.
 
You don't need the "force hostname" setting at all normally.

I would suggest to remove that server-xx-xx-xx.da.direct hostname and create your own.
Check all these steps:

Thread '[How-To] Create or change your server's hostname in Directadmin'

This is a guide on how to create a correct FQDN hostname on a sever or VPS.
I created this newly here in this section, for easier reference and it's also easier to find.

There is also another method, but the method described here is another method which is also still very usable.

Before you install Directadmin you can already take care the correct hostname is used bij Directadmin.

The domain mydomain.com is used her as example and 192.168.0.1 as example server ip. Ofcourse replace all examples with the domain or hostname your are using. So don't use 192.168.0.1 in the real situation...

If still working with the da.direct hostname then remove that from the /etc/hosts file.
Also be sure to use the server_cert directive to create a new ssl certificate for your correct hostname.
