Installing DirectAdmin on server with Apache already installed, issues?

[BMR777]

Hello,

The VPS my web host configured had Apache already installed under Ubuntu 20.04. I went ahead and installed DirectAdmin but now I am concerned that there might be two versions of Apache on the system. Does the DirectAdmin installation wipe / take over control of the default installed Apache? If not, how would I check if there are now two instances of Apache on my server?

Thanks!

You just need fresh install OS, Don't need to install any program just follow installation guide

Install guide | Directadmin Docs

Yes you do need to install certain programs, most are installed by DA these days, however, checking is better:

Overview | Directadmin Docs

If apache is the only thing installed, then just uninstall it.
Best is to start fresh and follow the docs.
