I have installed a few new DA (virtual) servers under Proxmox5 and after the first two went fine, most of the others do not work properly and do very strange things:
- I have to disable / uninstall CSF to be able to access the servers at all (default CSF install that worked fine with me before including the first two servers). It has the standard DA ports open, including the high range for PASV (but doesn't work).
- I used a backup of the two working virtual servers (fully configured and updated) as the basis to make new servers, but somewhere deep inside there remains a reference to the original server and, amazingly, if I log into server A, it shows the content of Server B!! (but the URL stays serverA.com, like a domain pointer). Then when I log into DA on server B, it shows the content of Server C! When I log into server C it shows its own content. (so basically server A and B seem to have a problem).
- I cannot make backups or restored via FTP with these servers:
Error with getFtpFile:
Could not read reply from control connection -- timed out.
Falling back to PORT instead of PASV mode.
Transfer failed. Check the path value. (error=3)
connect to 46.17.7.xxx:23026 failed: Connection refused.
connect to 46.17.7.xxx:24939 failed: Connection refused.
connect to 46.17.7.xxx:28572 failed: Connection refused.
- I remembered that there was the need for a default domain for the admin user to be able to use FTP, so I then added a dummy .dom domain. This gave a problem with connecting to the DNS servers (multi-server setup). Initiatlly this worked fine, I restored users from backups uploaded through SCP.
It seems to all be linked to the SSH and some redirect. Can anyone help me understand where to look for a solution (both for the redirect and the fact that the firewall needs to be removed)?
Kind regards and look forward to any ideas you may have!

p.s. I read the new feature on SNI for HTTPS clients on port 222 (https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=2461) which seems quite suspect (it looks like this SNI business is going on but using certificates from completely different servers)
