I'm new to using DA, and I have to say I do like the layout of the control panel.

I am managing a new CentOS VPS at JaguarPC that does not have yum installed.

There are other issues with the name servers not being "inherited" by domains I add. Intodns.com will list the name servers with A records for the FQDN of the VPS, but the name server A records are missing for any of the domains I add through DA. I'm adding domains through Users directly under Admin and not under Resellers, if that matters. This VPS will have only one or two domains on it. Let me know if I need to have at least one Reseller (I'm a cPanel/WHM refugee).

I suspect that something is wrong with the VPS install itself because 'yum', which should always be present in CentOS, is missing. Looking through the forums here, it doesn't appear that DA removes 'yum', but let me know if it does, and if updates should be done through DA itself.
 
Directadmin definately doesnt remove yum. Did you try the full path to yum?

/usr/bin/yum

If it is still missing then you might have to install it via rpm.

Maybe your hosting provider removed it for some reason.

Yeah, its not there:

[root@vps /]# /usr/bin/yum update
-bash: /usr/bin/yum: No such file or directory

I have a question into the provider on their forums (I don't own the VPS, so I don't have the log in for the support system).

We don't have anything on the server yet, so I'm thinking asking them to reimage it might be the best solution. Who knows what else is missing? Its an OpenVZ 1GB VPS, and the RAM comes up as 12GB using free -m, so there are other oddities lurking beneath the surface.
