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
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?
When 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.
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?
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)

I managed to stop the process ctr+c
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 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:

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.

I rebuilt my VPS (again) today and noticed something different. Instead of the usual "Install LxAdmin" icon in HyperVM I read "Install Kloxo."
I looked at the demo and everything looked the same. Has anyone noticed any definite differences between the two? Has anything significant changed apart from the name?

To be clear i don't mean the wp-config.php admin password for mysql but the wordpress Plesk admin account that is associated with Log in button
For some reason my user has lost his password and is not able to use the Wordpress forgot password - wizard form at the page where you normally logged on.
I have tried to reset the password via Change Account on the WordPress Installation and it came back with the message
Error: Unable to find the specified administrator account in WordPress. Specify the username of your administrator's account in WordPress. This account will be associated with Plesk.
I have tried to add another admin via MySQL with this [URL] ... and that didn't work either.
Why can i login with two different passwords for the user admin in plesk control panel?

Early on, I use this Plesk under trial license mode and have set the subscription for each domains to 20GB (hard disk) and 100GB (bandwidth).
Later, I sign up for Web Admin Edition. I understand that this version does not have abilities to manage quotas. The issue that I have now, after I entered the activation key (Web Admin Edition), my existing domain's quota remain as it is instead of unlimited.
Please refer to the attachment to see the screenshot....
It's possible to change the main plesk user "admin" I would chenge the "name" only because chrome make me crazy with password stored
How can I change from panel or from everywhere the "admin" username without any problem of course in the plesk functionality
