I just completed the first DA installation and having trouble getting into the panel.

Following output remind me that I haven't disabled the IPv6 before start installing DA.

[root@server ~]# netstat -pantu | grep 2222
tcp6 0 0 :::2222 :::* LISTEN 6262/directadmin

Assuming this would be kind of common issue, posting here.

Any advise would help for Newbies coming from Xpanel :)

IPv6 is not an issue. We also have servers with both ipv6 and ipv4 enabled before installation of DA and no issues, so it might be caused by a firewall or something else.

Centos which I installed yesterday (first install for me) was with 2222 port closed

you can open it

Code: 
 firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=2222/tcp --permanent
Code: 
 firewall-cmd --reload

/ stop firewall - not advisable



advice I consider best Newbies install CSF using install.directadmin.sh instead ot isntall.sh it will open all ports needed and when you stop testing in config and use protection_medium profile

hi
i have the same issue, i get this while implementing this:


[root@inferno ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=2222/tcp --permanent
-bash: firewall-cmd: command not found
[root@inferno ~]# firewall-cmd --reload
-bash: firewall-cmd: command not found
 
I have even installed csf but it's still not working

Did you use the ./install-directadmin.sh from the CSF installation? Or just install.sh that makes a big difference.

Best is to just disable the OS firewall rules after installation. Then install DA and then install CSF/LFD via the ./install-directadmin.sh script and all is just fine.

OS firewall is disabled i guess

[root@inferno csf]# sudo firewall-cmd --state
not running


it's still having the same issue, i'm not able to login here is what i get

http://prntscr.com/obqbgs

i have also disabled csf which i installed following this https://download.configserver.com/csf/install.txt
 
The link you point to for installing CSF is correct, but that link does not mention to use the ./install-directadmin.sh which is present by default. You should use that link but replace ./install.sh by the ./install-directadmin.sh command.

Which Linux Distro do you have? In Centos you can check via SSH:
Code: 
iptables -L
which should give all (input, output and another one) ACCEPTED then it's good.

Another way to test if post 2222 is open is by using:
Code: 
netstat -an | grep 2222
it should give the response:
Code: 
tcp        0      0 :::2222                     :::*                        LISTEN
or try telnetting localhost to port 2222.

If this is all oke it is a firewall issue. If it's not on your side then it might also be a hardware router or something at the datacenter.

I'm using Centos 7.

Here is what i get:

[root@inferno csf]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

[root@inferno csf]# netstat -an | grep 2222
tcp6 0 0 :::2222 :::* LISTEN

I don't understand why it's not working for me, if i don't have any firewall in any level.
 
tcp6 0 0 :::2222 :::* LISTEN

You're only using ipv6?

If that is the case, check:
ip6tables -L
if you have the same "accept" output.

Can you telnet to port 2222?

If yes, maybe it's a skin issue? Have a look at /usr/local/directadmon/confs/directadmin.conf and check the lines:
demodoscroot and docsroot. Try using the enhanced skin like putting them like this:
Code: 
demodocsroot=./data/skins/enhanced
docsroot=./data/skins/enhanced
then restart the directadmin service and check again.

No i have ipv4 as well.
 
I gave more tips.
1.) Does telnet to port 2222 work?
2.) Did ip6tables -L give the same output?
3.) Did you try other skin?
4.) Did you check the link from Zeiter for local issues on your pc, like firewall/virusscanner and other tips in there?

and if you want 5.) you can also give me some test credentials per pm, I can check if it works from here.
 
It could be blocked at VPS/instance provider level (firewall). Would you mind checking:
Code: 
curl http://[B]your_server_ip[/B]:2222

If it responds locally, I'd suggest checking for the things outside the server.

Thank you Richard, it worked.

It was due to BitDefender :(

Now i'm trying to configure things but when i try to upload files using ftp, i get:

Error: Server sent unsorted certificate chain in violation of the TLS specifications

any help in this regard is appreciated.

Thanks again.
 
Check these if it's correctly done:
1.) https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=648
2.) https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=629
3.) Go to the user account, enable SSL and choose for a wildcard certificate for the domain. Or select everything you want, including FTP.
Also portrange 35000:35999 should be enabled in CSF (when not already automatically done by the ./install-directadmin.sh from CSF) incoming and outgoing for ipv4 and ipv6 if you're using both.

I use a TLS v1.2 connection with FlashFXP and that's working perfectly

If the error still remains after correctly creating the certificates (can take a few minuts) then check this thread:
