Reinstall DirectAdmin

[ronaldsh]

Hi, is there any guideline for COMPLETELY (include all previous setting, user binding, etc) uninstall DA .

Since I have did so by remove /usr/*/directadmin and reinstall DA but some old setting still there.

Yes, there have been a couple threads discussing this. Have you tried searching the forums?

 

[ronaldsh]

Yes, i did search and follow

http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=44&highlight=reinstall


and also I did remove all /var/named , /etc/passwd and setting in /etc/httpd/conf before my installation.

However, after reinstallation, I found there some old setting in custome httpd configuration. Which have a domain mapped to a user. For which the user is not more exist . thx.

Did you remove all the includes that are located in the very bottom of the httpd.conf? (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf)

 

[ronaldsh]

i did...

 

[jmstacey]

There where exactly are you seeing this old information? mapping users to domains?

 

[ronaldsh]

DA Admin Login => Extra Feature => Custom HTTPD CONFIGURATION

 

[jmstacey]

I think that's loaded from /usr/local/directadmin/data/
Are you sure you deleted the entire directadmin directory?

If you did then a fresh install would have no information (other than the operating system) from other users

yes. i removed by rm -fR , and i did also look into everyfile there too !
