I think it is, a lot of people have been asking for it.
I’d love it if when you did the updates in the GUI of DirectAdmin (Custombuild) it didn’t break things, several times we have lost the email system working.
The first time we did an update, it killed MailChannels and we had to add a bit to show how the emails were routed
Another time the SSL stopped functioning on mail.domaim, so mail went down.
This week we did the updates and all incoming and outgoing mail stopped, something got added to a config file.
Also we had an issue where the websites stopped loading, http was down....
I love DA, i actually prefer the interface, but It’s just a pain when it comes to updates and lack of functions in the GUI.
There should not be any manual changes done to exim.conf, as it gets overwritteb unless set not to be updated. There are documented ways to customize it.
SSL issue - was it Windows7? It was likely TLSv1.1 then, which is EOL now.
Thank you.
it probably has been said before.. but would like some nodejs support in there without the use of cloudlinux..
It was an issue with iPhones and MAC’s and all devices Not windows 7. We had to migrate them back to cPanel and it solved the issue....
Not seen any issues with exim on iPhones or Macs here.
Speaking of exim.conf changes...
I never found a kosher way to change the log_selector directive in the exim.conf file.
So I just made a note that every time exim_conf is updated to run a script to set log_selector to +all
But is there a kosher way to keep this change in the exim.conf file?
I think the issue is that there A LOT of directives and configuration options for exim and having customizations for all of those directives while also allow customization for SOME directives is very difficult.
Might be simplier to have a set of pre/post hooks for (certain) custombuild options... like exim_conf. If there was a way to run a script after exim_conf is updated, then I could just add my little script to update log_selector and all would be fine (maybe).

It has hooks for any command called. Example: https://forum.directadmin.com/threads/custombuild-2-0-rev-2369-with-steroids.60153/
In your case it'd be /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/hooks/exim_conf/post/log_selector.sh
Done!
Thanks! Confirmed by visiting docs.directadmin.dev. I can see the timestamps
Is it just me or everyone can see them now?
Just an FYI = End Of April for JetBackup for an Alpha test (you need to be on the list) .... No ETA on Acronis backup thou.
I don't even think they are even planning to offer a solution for DirectAdmin. They have been gauging interest since the middle of last year but still no further than that as of today.
I know, I started the thread on the forum.....
we’ve actually been thinking of bringing cPanel back for a bit anyway.... just for the 3rd party comparability...
I believe @Zerpy had a phone call with Acronis who told him it should be released Q3.
Then again that latest forum post doesn't really show much movement.
Is there a complete list of the API commands, in one place where I don't need to keep searching different locations?
Finally got everything I need from the API, was a bit of an effort though
By this point, I know the API inside out!
@Lee is this for Acronis?
No, just creating my own panel to link in with DirectAdmin so I don't need to use Blesta or WHMCS for server interactions. It's done just refining it.
nice....
Custom billing system?
Yup. Not that I can bill anyone at the minute but it's a worthwhile project. Had a custom panel for the host I sold last year that worked only with cPanel, just replicating it but different enough that I don't get called out for infringement
Sounds good. Good luck mate!
The one thing that annoyed me when playing around with DA was the email side of thing without having to manually configure every tiny detail yet I still couldn't manage to get local email send/receive to work with Cloudflare, let alone hosting through Zoho. I never had any trouble with this when I used cPanel for the longest.
Does anyone know what is the status of the custom doc root for subdomains?
It is in pre-release already (GUI). 1.60.4 version has CLI for it.
Looking forward to the GUI version. It is really the users who need it the most rather than admins.
Btw, DirectAdmin auto install defaults to Apache/MySQL/RUID.
But many prefers MariaDB over MySQL and OpenLiteSpeed over Apache. It would be nice if there is another auto install with OLS/MariaDB/LSPHP.
I know there is a custom option, but the auto install installs a few bits more, and a one word command would be more convenient.
DA's defaults are to make it as close to cPanel parity as possible. The last complaint I have about that is maybe increase the
max_username_lengthto 16 from 10.OLS has a lot of shortcomings related to
.htaccesswhich is likely to cause more complaints than praise for the speedup.Francisco
I wouldn’t use OLS in a retail hosting environment due to the htaccess shortcomings. For example, if you want to add HTTP security headers they need to be added on an admin level using the context block in the vhosts file. A user can’t add them htaccess like Apache or LiteSpeed Enterprise.
I think the current auto setup provides the most optimal installation for most users and if you want to change it’s easy to do afterwards.
Wait for the incremental backups with Borg integration which DA are working on. Hopefully by the summer. Game changer.
