New to DirectAdmin, and I'm trying to understand a couple of things. I did the following in my attempt to switch to Nginx:
1) Extra Features - Custom Build 2.0
2) Edit Options
3) WEB Server Settings - Web Server - Select Nginx
4) Save
After this, I viewed the System Information, and it showed Apache was disabled, but Nginx wasn't up and running. So I googled and came up with this link.

I noticed the command for build, so I went back to the UI under Custom Build 2.0 and tried building Nginx. But it didn't seem to help, neither did a reboot. It still showed Apache, and it was in a not running state.
From the link above, the following commands were called out:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build set webserver nginx
./build nginx
I figured the first and second commands were like running my earlier steps 1) and 2)
I figured "./build set webserver nginx" was like my step 3) and 4)
Lastly I figured my UI action "build" should be the same as that last command.
In short, running the commands worked fine, and checking system information showed that Nginx was installed, no mention of Apache, and the web server was working.
Did I miss a common step in my UI attempt to switch?
