Just signed up for Knownhost VPS and have 3 sites (all on individual shared hosting) that I want to setup but I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure things out.
I've read the entire directadmin (site-helper.com) but still having trouble setting things up. I know what all the terms mean but i'm stuck on how to setup the DNS, what suppose to point to what, creating 3 individual accounts for the 3 sites, etc.
I have a dedicated server, and WHM cPanel
I have a registered domain with oneandone (mydomain)
So what I want is nameservers, ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com when people are viewing any of the sites on my server.
Basically i need to know, step by step on how to, do this, please I have read all the guides but they dont say exactly how oneandone point to my server, I think I have done most stuff on the server side.
So I want a site mydomain2.com they can change their nameservers to ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com and it links to my server.
I think i have only 1 IP with my dediated server.

I've made a how to, based on my personal knowledge about upgrading a CentOS 3, RedHat 9, or 8?, Fedora Core, and maybe others, to the new CentOS 4.5 OS. (or CentOS 4.x)

Please post, comments, questions, etc. here.
I've myself upgraded many servers this way, (even, tonight, I upgraded another, so I finally decided to do this with all my notes)
First I want to say hello and thanks for the great advice I've gotten on this forum. You guys have saved me a ton of time and heartache in regards to hosting accounts.
I was told by my hosting company that a VPS account isn't designed to be an step up from a shared account. I always viewed a VPS account as the intermediary between shared and dedicated. The hosting company basically told me that a VPS server is designed as a testing environment and you can run out of resources pretty quickly in a production environment.
Is that true? Or are they telling stories?
how to buy domains but what is the next step . i heard from my freinds that i we need to setup name servers and some other things before my site goes live,
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install Automation, and I keep getting an error after the "Getting SELinux" step, here is a log of the process so far:

how can i do a search for all files (probs using regex) of files consisting purely of numbers?
for e.g. find:
53243.php
24353.php
24098.php
(always have 5 numbers).
seems one of my accounts has had some script run which generated a bunch of these in various subfolders, and the php file basically does a callback to www3.rssnews.ws and www3.xmldata.info, which seem to be some sort of spyware servers.
I am receiving errors while executing domainname.com/cgi-bin/folder/filename.cgi files in directadmin. The error is Internal server error.
I have tried the below things,
./script.cgi : no errors found
checked domain log : got premature end of script headers
checked suexec log : No errors
Checked the permission : all the files and folders under cgi-bin is 755
Where is the location of my.cnf?
I've got directadmin on this server, however I can't seem to find the mysql config file.
I've checked /etc for it, but it doesn't seem to be there?
i just sign up a directadmin vps package, this is the direct admin that i saw once i login, is quite different from the direct admin that i normally saw, is this normal?
when i check with the support, they just tell me nothing is wrong and ask me if i wan they will just rebuild the vps, any one that using direct admin vps using this kind of interface?
Quite simple - does anybody know of any Directadmin resellers?
Me (and my customers) are used to directadmin so that is the control panel I would like to use on my servers. However not all hosts offer directadmin, and that means I would have to get it from directadmin.com myself.
The main 'issue' with this is pricing. Single licenses cost $29 per month. While a reseller can get the same license for a one-time fee of $49. That means turning a profit in 1.5 months when going that way instead of single licenses.
Does anybody know of a way to buy these one-time licenses? I am aware of the fact that they do not include support, that is fine.
We've had a request to assist a transfer from LxAdmin to DirectAdmin.
We don't mind moving all the files and MySQL manually, however our main concern is copying the old emails.
All the settings (ie. mail forwarders, cron jobs) can be re-created.
how to move the MailDir from LxAdmin to DirectAdmin?
who are some of the largest, most well known or oldest running DirectAdmin hosts?

I am not able to login the DA since last week though the password must be correct..
I have 4 ip addresses.
74.63.67.146 - my main server. I have also configured my main domain to "own" this IP address and have installed an SSL cert. The domain and the cert work correctly but when you type in the IP address in, it shows "Apache is functioning normally".
74.63.67.147 - this is owned by a client. Same thing happens as above except that the domain name and the IP address point to the Apache message.
74.63.67.148 - this is the shared IP. Everything works correctly.
74.63.67.149 - this is another owned IP and it works correctly.
The only thing that is different from 146, 147
I know I should be asking DirectAdmin this question, but I do not want to wait until Monday. I want to know if DirectAdmin allows VMware VPSes on their VPS license. I know cPanel does.

Right after I run the install, it does start downloading the packages but experiencing this issue after numerous tries:

may I know which version of apache and mysql are you running on your production server? Will the latest apache or mysql conflict with DA?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to decide what panel to get, I've used cPanel and DirectAdmin before so trying to figure out which is best suited for me.
Obviously cPanel has more features but uses more ram. Do I really need all the features of cPanel or can I get by using DirectAdmin?
The server I'm going to get will have 8GB RAM so does it matter that cPanel uses more memory because there is so much ram anyway?
Anyone know a reseller for DA licenses that can be used with a vps bought elsewhere?
View 6 Replies View Relatedwhich is better, LXAdmin or DirectAdmin? I have decided to sign up with world-of-computing.com. They have a promo code for free DirectAdmin. Should I go for it or use the 25%off promo code? The virtualization technology used is OpenVZ.
Does anyone have any experience with them? I had chatted with a Sales Rep for 45 minutes and he has been really helpful. But I know that support for sales and service is entirely different.
Also which OS should I go for (CentOS4/CentOS5/Fedora7/Debian4/Gentoo4/OpenSuse 10/Ubuntu 8.04)?
If you were looking for a web host, which control panel do you want?
cPanel or DirectAdmin?
I know most will choose cPanel, but I want to find out how many choose DA and how many choose cPanel.
Is there a way to see which user is using how much cpu resources in DirectAdmin?
View 5 Replies View Relatedi am swtiching the hosting package from company A to company B. Company A is using directadmin and company B using cpanel.
How can i transfer all my mail to cpanel?
On average, how much memory does cpanel use when compared to a standard directadmin setup?
I've never had a chance to use directadmin before, but I've been reading quite a bit about it around the web and that it uses much less memory than cpanel.
Anyone used both? Which is better for VPS hosting?
Can Lighttpd be installed with DirectAdmin in this fashion:
Lighttpd - port 80
DirectAdmin on Apache - port 999
OR
Is there any performance decrease in
Apache - Port 80
Lighhttpd - port 81 (proxy between Apache)
DirectAdmin on Apache - port 999
I am using DirectAdmin and need help setting up IP addresses for specific domain names. How can I do this?
Is it in DNS management?
I have been using cPanel for long and some custom panels like DreamHost and Site5 provide.
I have seen DirectAdmin a couple of times but never used it. Now my question is that:
Why we should we use cPanel instead of DirectAdmin, when:
* DA is cheaper than cPanel.
* People says DA support is better.
* DA have nearly all features cPanel have.
* DA looks prettier than cPanel.
I could be able to state more if I have been using DA.
Now, please list your REAL world reason to not use DA but cPanel. Lets keep it on topic.
My reason, as of now, is:
* Transferring site from cPanel to cPanel is easier than cPanel to DA.
I really need at least 10 reasons for not choosing DA.
