Hey in the ticket system, how do you delete closed tickets? I can see how to view closed tickets but I'd like to delete the old ones.

Does DA eventually clear them itself or what?
 
DirectAdmin does not automatically purge old trouble tickets.

On the index page of the tickets (where it gives you a list of all tickets, you should be able to check the boxes next to the tickets you want to delete and then click the delete button...

That seems to be for deleteing messages only. I'm looking for a way to delete old trouble tickets. No matter what I try, they seem to still be there.
 
Hello,

There is no function to delete a closed ticket. However, you can remove it from view by removing it from your /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/username/tickets.list file if you are a Reseller or a User, or from /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/tickets.list file if you are an admin.

I have a system that had so many tickets I couldn't load them, so I removed admin/ticket.list and tickets/000*

It seems to have fixed it, is this safe to do?

On that note, this server is convinced vm-pop3d isn't running, but it is, how can I convince it vm-pop3d really is running?
 
Yup, plenty safe to do.

Regarding vm-pop3d.. in the services montior page, does it show it running or not?

Have you changed vm-pop3d to use xinetd/inetd instead?

DA checks for a process named "vm-pop3d" running on the system.. if it's being run through xinetd/inetd, then it won't show up (not executed until a connection comes in).

Another possibility is if the process name is "/usr/sbin/vm-pop3d" for some reason, which isn't matching "vm-pop3d" (check the boot script)

Either way, you can set:
vm-pop3d=OFF
in your /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status file to stop DA from going mad with it thinking it's not running.
