Hi all,

I am on a centos 7 system, and have DA 1.647 installed. I now switched to the evolution skin, but nothing changes except the login page. Manualy restarting DA also doesn't do the trick.

In the skin manager (enhanced) I keep see this:
You are currently using enhanced
Global Document Root ./data/skins/evolution

How can I check why it doesn't change skin or what has gone wrong?

Forgot one thing. When upgrading DA to 1.647 it told me I had to turn off mod_ruid2 (I'm using php-fpm so don't know why it matters). Turned it of in the DA config. So maybe the upgrade to 1.647 from 1.64.6 has skipped some steps due to the ruid2 problem?
 
I don't know how to you config your server. Mod_ruid2 use on mod_php mode. If you don't use, just turn it off. Because there have someone that need mod_ruid2 on php-fpm, but I don't know there reason. that why DA only warning ( Not force disabled )
 
Hello,

How can I check why it doesn't change skin or what has gone wrong?

As root you might run the following command:

Code:
perl -pi -e 's/enhanced$/evolution/' /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/*/user.conf

and this will switch all existing users to Evolution Skin.
 
That worked, thanks.

If you need me to check something to find out why selecting the skin from the skin manager in encanced didn't work just let me know.

Thanks both for your help.
 
I've experienced several problems with the evolution skin and my current problem is that I cannot log in as admin, the single user this skin applies to, but I can login as any regular user, who don't have the evolution skin but the enhanced skin. After changing /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/admin/user.conf skin=evolution back into the skin=enhanced AND also in the config file /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf. When trying to log in, the loading screen from the evolution skin will appear and nothing actually happens

[Edit]I forgot to add I did restart the DirectAdmin service, and afterwards a reboot, to no avail[/Edit]

My 2 questions is: 1: is it related to this skin? Which is what I want to test out by switching skins, but that doesn't seem to go through as the loading screen stays here at all times. 2: If it isn't the skin, what could it be? I'll make a new thread if it isn't point 1

Final edit: It is actually related to this skin, I will have to follow up in a different thread about it, coming in a week. Turns out I also had to change the docsroot=./data/skins/enhanced Final final edit: Link to post
