Hi there, first let me say that the customers we have using DA as their control panel really seem to enjoy it, and I'm particularly pleased that it doesn't neuter servers the way an install of PSA does. Anyway, I have a question and I am hoping someone has done this already:
We've got a customer who already has all of his domains running on a server with us and he'd like DirectAdmin. Now I know I can probably manage to get DirectAdmin installed and have his sites up and running, but I'm wondering if there is a way to go about it so I don't break his sites. Importing his apache configuration is my main concern, I was thinking something along the lines of doing the install, and then killing the DirectAdmin apache processes, starting up the one that's already installed on the box and then adding all his domains to directadmin.
As I mentioned, I know I can do it, I'm just concered about disrupting his sites as little as possible, so if anyone has done this and would like to share their experiences I'd appreciate it. I'd sooner go in to this with a few tips rather than just diving in to it.
The box in question is running FreeBSD 4.9 with your average ports install of all the usual apps (Apache, PHP, MySQL 4.0.18).
