I have noticed there is no /etc/init.d/directadminI guess it is normal because directadmin is loaded thanks to systemd. Nevertheless, after doing a change in administration settings, i got an error saying missing /etc/init.d/directadminI did a quick fix for it:
Code:
ln -s /usr/local/directadmin/directadmin /etc/init.d
Nevertheless, i think that's a quick & dirty fix. I guess that in the directadmin code, /etc/init.d/directadmin restart should be replaced by
Code:
systemctl restart directadmin.service

./directadmin o
./directadmin v

I see the point, it looks like the directadmin version of Debian 7 has been installed on Debian 8 on the VPS. I am going through directadmin installation right now. pressing yes to the question saying something like :" Do you want to install directadmin on Debian 8.1?"

Unfortunately, it still shows "compiled on Debian 7"

Is the license key linked to the Debian version ? (Debian 7)

Yes, if you need to run Directadmin on Debian 8, you should change OS in your license. So you need a license for Debian 8.
 
thank you so much!

Thanks to you, i discovered my directadmin version was for Debian 7, so i have transferred the server to Debian 7.8 & now for sure i have no problem at all.
