Installing a new DA Web Server

[boonchuan]

Hi I am installing a new Directadmin Server only for Web. DNS and Email are external servers. So in this case, which services should I stop? And also how do I stop so that it will remain stopped when I reboot?

Hi Boonchuan,

You need to instruct DirectAdmin not to check the services status.

sed -i -e 's#named=ON#named=OFF#' /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status
sed -i -e 's#dovecot=ON#dovecot=OFF#' /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status
/etc/init.d/directadmin restart
chkconfig named off
chkconfig dovecot off

You still need to turn on Exim so that your web application can send out emails.
