The current DA update seems to be in an endless loop.

I did the usual update to DA to the most recent version. I was alerted with a notification in the Licensing/Update section, and saw there was a new menu variable for DA version preference. Since is a production server with clients, I chose the "Stable-Delayed release schedule" and DA proceeded to restart.

Now in the CustomBuild section, the DA version is 1.63.0 and it wants to update to 1.62.4... ok, so I revert back and then it does it again the opposite direction and wants to upgrade to 1.63, and keeps repeating.

Seems like an endless loop...
 
files9 is a 3rd party mirror, see;

Overview | Directadmin Docs

DirectAdmin Knowledge Base
docs.directadmin.com

Try setting the downloadserver option manually first to files1, then disable 3rd party mirrors in options.conf (don't know the option out of my head), then do

Code: 
./build update
./build set_fastest

This way you are using one of the official mirrors and this will probably solve your issue.

You probably want to do ./build versions also because files9 seems to be very out of date.
 
I followed the above steps. I didn't see the third party option in there, but changed it to files1.directadmin.com

The build set_fastest decided to change it to files.directadmin.com

In the DA control panel, I noticed the Licensing/Update section no longer allowed me to choose the DA release type.

From there, I went ahead and updated DA:

And of course, DA had to restart...

Waited 10 minutes and DA is not responsive. Server and websites are running fine, but I cannot access DA control panel anymore. I tried restarting DA from the command line, and got the errors below:

Code: 
[root@server custombuild]# service directadmin restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart directadmin.service
Job for directadmin.service failed because a fatal signal was delivered to the control process. See "systemctl status directadmin.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
