hi everyone
i have installed DA on my server today. the server is new and i'm still trying to apply the right configuration to DA. but there are some problems that are bothering me and they are really odd to me. there is one here :
everytime i try to access brute force monitoring panel i get this error :

You cannot execute that command
Details
The request you've made cannot be executed because it does not exist in your authority level

oh and yes! i am the admin!;)

some things that might help you guys finding out the problem : (and i am not sure they have anything to do with the problem)

PHP SafeMode Configuration ->
safe mode for new domains off
open basedir for new domains off

administrator settings
Parse service logs for brute force attacks-> no matter how many times i set it to yes, its empty

ConfigServer Security and Firewall -> SYSLOG_CHECK = 1800

i will be very thankfull if you can help me out
 
Hello,

I guess you should start with reading Directadmin logs located in /var/log/directadmin/ and also available via Directadmin UI at admin level.

If there is nothing useful in the logs, then you might need to run Directadmin in debug mode and see what it complains about.

i looked into logs and in error log there are unlimited lines of this error :
2012:08:08-11:53:03: Error reading from 2.145.144.227:
which is my own ip.

in errortaskq log i have nothing related to the times i tried to access the brute force section.

finally in security log i have this :
2012:08:08-11:58:24: *** User admin tried to execute /CMD_BRUTE_FORCE_MONITOR ***

and there is almost nothing related in systemlog.

does the line in security log help to resolve this problem or should i try debug mode anyway?
 
yes, as shown in the attached picture, i am pretty sure i am the admin. in my other installation of DA i don't have this problem and it's really odd.

What if you try to change to a default (enhanced) skin of Directadmin?

Make sure, you've got line CMD_BRUTE_FORCE_MONITOR in files_admin.conf for your custom skin:

Code: 
# grep CMD_BRUTE_FORCE_MONITOR /usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/<YOUR_SKIN_NAME_HERE>/files_admin.conf
CMD_BRUTE_FORCE_MONITOR=admin/brute_force_monitor.html
 
tanx for your reply.

i check default skin and there were no link to brute force monitor.
then i checked my current theme conf file (files_admin.conf) and these two lines are there :

CMD_BRUTE_FORCE_MONITOR=admin/brute_force_monitor.html
CMD_BRUTE_FORCE_IP_INFO=admin/brute_force_ip_info.html

i don't think this can be a skin problem. because i used it on another server and it was fine.
 
so i will run it in safe mode and let you know. :)

oh and one thing, i was looking into error log and i found this : 2012:08:08-22:15:04: The username hasn't been set. Won't run the script without dropping privileges
thought maybe it can help. actually i was thinking is there any files which can set custom privillages for admin or any other user? you know, maybe even like changing a permission or something, even a permission of an specific file ....
 
problem solved :)

hello everyone :)
after taking a good look into my DA panel trying to figure out the difference between my panel on my other server and this one i came to realize it's all about the version!!! i don't know why and how but ovh had installed DA 1.31 version for me!!! so i updated it to the latest version and thank god there is no problem anymore ... :)
