View 1 RepliesWhen I introduce myself as a newbie, I do not exaggerate. Hope to slowly change that, thought.
I have recently rented a dedicated server from worldstream and have paid for a lifetime usage of Directadmin. My goal is just to host my own site.
Now I am trying to transfer the my domain to this server. From what I can tell, I need to change the DNS for the domain from it's current DNS.
In the Directadmin control panel under "DNS Administration", I see "Add Zone" which I assume is the step to take. Under "Add zone", it asks for
(1) Domain name (what format would I enter this)
(2) IP Address (I was supplied with three IP's when I signed up with worldstream. Do I just pick one of these?)
(3) Name Server 1 (Unsure of what to enter here)
(4) Name Server 2 (Ditto as above)
I realize this is quite basic for most.
Well what i can i say that direct admin is really pain in the ass, twice i asked in their forum but it was queued for moderation then not published. i'm having a problem setting up my domain 100% correctly.
let me explain more:
Before 1 or 2 weeks, i re-build the server and installed direct admin, but its really harder than other panels and i couldn't figure it 100% how to do,
my website now is running but i have the following problems
1- domain name can not be solved by all people. when i try to ping it it says its not resolvable, while the domain opens for most of users except for very few which gives an error saying can not connect to server
2- i get this error when using intodns.com
[url]
while everything else is ok
3- some of users in some countries access home/admin/domains/sharedip/... while others access home/admin/domains/mydomain.com/... which is the correct one, this causes problems but i temporary solved the problem by uploading files into both folders
I am trying to install Direct Admin on Cent OS 4.5 ( 64 bit ), but i am constantly getting library files error, one after another,
Example -
./directadmin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
then
./directadmin: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
then
./directadmin: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
goes on .........
But if i install 32 Bit library files (RPM), for them, they vanish and next error comes, with new file missing
I have tried loading 10 RPM's of 32 bit, but i cant go now forever...
Is there anyway to install Direct Admin on 64 Bit Cent OS?
Is there any 1 RPM file, which i can install and then Direct Admin wont give library problems.. ?
As in recent threads i have posted about getting a DA lifetime licence within the next month. I currently get my domains from 123-reg but i am just wondering if someone could help me or if they have an answer to my question!
If i bought a domain from 123-reg and then got a lifetime licence from DA and had it installed onto my server what happens to the nameservers? Like when DA install it onto my box would they sort out the nameservers for my domain aswell like ns1.mydomain.com, ns2.mydomain.com or would i have to pay extra for them?
Just been thinking and currently i host all my services with other hosting companies like my web hosting accounts etc...but was thinking of buying a DA licence and installing it onto one of my linux servers.
On DA's website it says one licence per IP or something along them lines...does this mean if i was to install a licence on say 99.99.99.999 and it was working ok etc but then if i changed my IP range to 99.99.99.998 would that mean the DA licence would no longer be valid?
First install , so i went to DirectAdmin ,
1- Sigend to User Level and Add Another Domain , i added my domain name
2- signed to Reseller panel , then NameServer and created as
ns1.xxx.com
ns2.xxx.com
3- singed to Admin control panel then to Administrator Settings , the second Tabel where it says 'Server Settings (will restart DirectAdmin)
Server's Hostname : kept it as it the name of the company that provided the server
NS1 : ns1.xxx.com
NS2 : ns2.xxx.com
Now i'm waiting 24 hours for the DNS ..
I don't start a CPanel vs DA war, but need to get a "what might be different" list re a VPS.
When I got my present VPS (moved from shared hosting) I had it initially set up with DA. All my previous experience had been with CP on my shared hosting account, but I had read about CP being a bit of a resource hog.
When I tried to set up my VPS, I got it wrong. I ended up with 2 instances of "mymainsite.com" on the server. I got so confused talking with support and their UNIX lingo, that I had them switch to CPanel.
I'm probably going to move to another host and thinking of using DA to save RAM.
I'm not a reseller of hosting, just have 20+ small to very small sites. I have a number of mySQL databases that get a fair number of queries. I have 1 vBulletin app but the traffic on that site is VERY low.
So what will I need to learn differently in DA?
-cron jobs
-parked domains
-migrating sites
-backing up sites
I did some searching but didn't find a ton of reliable information. Is there an easy way to move cpanel accounts over to a direct admin box?

How to install perl with Direct Admin?
there seems to be some debate over which admin panel is the best.
I not looking for anything amaazing in sence of features and add on scrpts. I want it to put hardly any stran on the server and just provide and easy interface for setting up domains, emails databases and ftp accounts.
THe three that have been suggested are
lxadmin
directadmn
plesk
I've just had a quote for a VPS that seemed good value for money until the cost of a Direct Admin license was added ($15 extra).
Looking at DA's pricing the cheapest license you can buy is an internal license (in bulk) which is available to server providers only at 9$ a month.
If that is the case why is it that quite a few providers in the offers forum are providing DA for 5$ or 6$?
As these licenses are being offered on low end VPS with tight margins anyway, I can't understand how they can afford to make a loss on the control panel (if they are in fact).
I'm Running (just) Direct Admin On a Centos 4.3
Due to a typo at the comand line as Root, ive manages to change the owner ship of unknown mounts of files.
The command that was processed (Before it was complete)

and these were the last files to see fly past.
The last one in the list is where it stopped at.

At the moment the server is still running and it seems only to be log in issues with Direct admin. All user / reseller / Admin accounts can no longer log in.

i have a problem i have dedicated server with direct admin panel so i was trying to change the skin to see how it looked but what a surprise it kick me out and now its blank and i cant get in to the directadmin panel anymore with this error msg
"Error: document not found"
I am currently setting up my server, and are experiencing some problems.
Some of the mails sendt with the php mail() func, ends up in the mail queue in DA, and I get the following error log in DA:

*** Frozen (delivery error message)
This only happens with some email domains though. If I set the recipient to my yahoo mail, it works as a sharm, but when I set my other email (<<removed>>) as recipient, i get the error log above.
After installing in my vps the Direct Admin panel i got this at the end:

(I am using apache 2.2.25).I have this "HTML5 and CSS all in one for dummies" Book. And it tells me I have to configure the .conf file to make apache work with PHP.
At this point I have only edited the Document root folder. The book tells me to find a Loadmodule with an # with a mention of PHP (I'll put the text of the book at the end) and to add an "addtype" statement. If have found neither and when I add the manually the server doesnt work.how can I make PHP work? Also, I have noticed that the Apache commands in CMD don't work. I am running windows 8.1. URL....
How do i forward requests to [url] to [url]?
I have usermin control panel running at https port 10000, but hosted customers have trouble rememembering the port address, hence i want to provide simplified url to all hosted customer so that whenever a customer types [url]or [url]he is forwarded to [url].
I have a number of domains hosted and need a global mod_rewrite rule or whatever that can be specified once in my apache httpd.conf file and it should work for all hosted domains on my server.
I already mapped my IP address to a domain but when I tried to access http://myipaddress it still show the LX Admin Default page instead of my site. How can i fix that?

I am so lost I am using both plesk for linux 8 and plesk for windows 8 I am trying to figure out how to have one master dns server for all domains regardless of which server they are hosted on. So if I have ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com I want to have it across the board on all servers is this possible in plesk and how would I go about doing this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe license says that it provides 10 domains on the License Management page. However, when I try to add a new domain, I get:
Code:
Warning: Permission denied.
When trying to add a domain from the command line, I get a warning that I can't add a new subscription (which is probably the way Web Admin works, 1 Subscription, 10 domains):
Code:
# plesk bin domain --create test.be
An error occurred during domain creation: You cannot manage subscriptions due to license restrictions.
How can I use all 10 domains?
Okay guys, a quick question for all the gurus out there. I'll admit I'm a bit embarassed posting such an easy question, but give a guy a break, I've been using managed servers for god knows how long and I've finally decided to take a dive into administration. Everything is firewalled and secured properly, I'm just having trouble getting the ServerAlias to work right.
What happens is I go into my browser and enter in [url]walaa! It works.
Now, when I enter in [url], it does not resolve.
I have checked with "dig" the domain settings and it looks as though all of the nameservers are set up fine, this is an apache problem. I'm running apache 2.2 on Ubuntu 7.10 for all those who are interested.
Here is my etc/apache2/sites-available/domain.com:
<VirtualHost *:80>
# Admin email, Server Name (domain name) and any aliases
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain1.com
ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias www.domain.com
# Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
DirectoryIndex index.html
DocumentRoot /home/demo/public_html/domain.com/public
# Custom log file locations
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog /home/demo/public_html/domain.com/logs/error.log
CustomLog /home/demo/public_html/domain.com/logs/access.log combined

I've been messing with it for about 45 minutes and I'm worn out at ~4:30am and could use a helping hand from the pros.
I have hired two servers for plesk and I have the mail configured in one server and the website in another one, it all seems to work fine except for a problem.
When the server where the website is tries to send a message through a smtp account it canĀ“t send it, it seems to be looking for the mail server in the same server where the website is instead of look for it in the other server.
How to configure this so it works correctly?
We registered a domain: ediblebackyard.com and have set up the account in a dedicated server. However, web page in this domain won't show up
I believe I've setup everything okay becuase I've setup several other domains in exactly the same way, for instances, transframe.com, 3dtime.net.
They all work but only the ediblebackyard domain refuses to show. I performed a domain name search, other domain shows the name server as well as the IP address. But ediblebackyard.com only shows the name server but no ip address listed.
I use Plesk in the dedicated sever. Is there anything possible wrong when I create the account for the domain?
my host is telling me that since I don't have a domain name setup (I use [url] that my account won't be logging ANYTHING. no raw access logs or anything. Why is this? Isn't there a setting in the vhost file to setup logs without a domain name?

I usually go to addon domain, choose a directory that matches the name and create my addon domain. I have an index.htm file there but when I type the www.domainname.com it doesn't work even after a week.
I have the DNS set to my webhost company's DNS servers.
