Any prospect of including configserver modsecurity control, to enhance the line-up?
https://www.configserver.com/cp/cmc.html
They are working on adding something like this already I believe. https://feedback.directadmin.com/b/feature-requests/modsecurity-user-level-restriction/
Ok this probably i've been said but it will add a vote if this is a case anyway. First of all be aware that it's first time i use DirectAdmin, normally i use cPanel.
You should really add authentication informations for emails account (smtp/imap/pop servers, ports, SSL/TLS, etc.).
Afaik there is an admin side tweak where you can enter your filetype to be allowed for editing in file manager.
It works by default.
Aye, but there are still some file types that people might not know they can enable.
E.G .pdt for Blesta template files can't be edited for default.
I mean, pdf..... 😂
@DA_Mark In the main account list of users, can we add a padlock which changes colour next to each account to show if the account has an active SSL please? e.g. Green / Red
Could we also maybe ad an SSL page in the main admin area where we could see an overveiw of domains covered with mail / ftp /www etc and choose accounts to add the SSL to instead of signing in to each one.?

I think that is the page @o_be_one should have a look into in order to be able to edit text files directly from the file manager
I have been using DirectAdmin for about 15 years and I hope it never becomes as bad as Cpanel. Cpanel is horribly complicated.
Wouldn't that make it super slow? I know WHMCS has that and sometimes, things just hangs.
At work I deal with cPanel/ DA, and Plesk.
cPanel by far the best, Plesk comes second.
I host some sites for friends for free on Virtualmin. I like it better than Plesk and DirectAdmin.
Why isnt Virtualmin more popular than DA, that I can not understand!
lol! are you serious?
Right. Soo umm,
1) Virtualmin really isn’t meant for “commercial” hosting.
2) Directadmin is meant for “commercial” hosting.
3) Costs a fraction of Cpanel and not owned by Oakley.
4) What good did your post do this thread? This wasn’t a feedback about DA.
Having to check a million different boxes during setup and a code that reminds you of 1990s.
Only reason CPanel is high on demand because every Tom, Dick and Harry heard the term and associates CPanel term as a replacement for control panel. I mean it is not like CPanel wasn’t the de facto industry standard for 15 some years.
After migrating a decent chunk of users over from CPanel, yet to hear a single thing about “I miss CPanel”.
Let me ping @smtalk on this, to get his opinion. @seriesn may be correct about it causing things to bog down, or perhaps there is a better solution to this that I haven't anticipated...
Thanks Floyd! I remember you from almost the beginning.. It was a very rough product when you first started using it.
I don't blame you if you feel more at home with Virtualmin than DA. We've never tried (or claimed) to be a cPanel clone or replacement. Anyone doing a bit of research will see that we've never advertised our product anywhere. We keep to ourselves, and our customer base is more like a community. Not everyone jives with DA. If you found a free alternative, then life is good. As @seriesn mentioned, commercial control panels do have accountability as a "feature" but probably not important if you are just setting up something for friends.
@DA_Mark While I have your attention, how difficult would be to have an automated suspension notification sent to customers, if they are suspended directly within DA? Would make life super easy when doing mass suspensions/people without a billing system.
Do you mean just automatically e-mailing them at suspension? Feel free to be as specific as you can, just so I don't misinterpret what you meant.
I can't imagine it would be difficult at all, though...
Yeah. As in, if we suspend an account within DA, an email notification being sent to the user. Some thing like,
Hey,
Your accout has been suspended for the following reason:
How detailed/dynamic would you like the suspension e-mail? You mentioned possibly doing multiple/bulk suspensions. Would you like some kind of suspension e-mail template? So you could set something like, your account has been suspended so please contact [email protected]? etc.?
Or just something really generic like "Your account has been suspended -- please contact the person or company responsible for your web hosting" ?
If it is a customizable template, that would be pretty dope
.
How rude. It is not even Halloween yet 🧛♂️
We are kind of rude. I guess it's why most go for Virtualmin.
Being a rude/annoying commercial control panel, and wanting to make sure we get this feature right for you.. can I confirm you are talking about suspending User accounts? Would you like a different template for an Admin suspending a Reseller too?
To be honest, I can't see this being a problem at all. The suspend feature is already there, so I can't imagine adding e-mail notification would be a big deal. Actually I'm kind of embarrassed that it's not already there. So just give me a final confirmation so I can get this done for you
Okay now my child! No need to get emotional.
Yes sir.
If it is not too much work sir, why not?
Yes I am. I was a sysadmin for several years before Cpanel. I even wrote my own simplistic control panel. I tried Cpanel once and after a few days I decided it was just too complicated and not very intuitive. I formatted the server and kept looking and found DirectAdmin. It worked exactly how a sysadmin would expect it to work.
Having extra domains under one primary domain is just stupid. What if you didn't want the primary domain anymore? Now you have to keep it on the server because its part of the path to the other domains. That was a deal breaker for me. If they are going to do something that stupid then who knows what other stupid things they might do. DirectAdmin gives each domain their own path that is not dependent on another domain as it should be.
WHMCS Seems to do an instant check, maybedo a 24 hour or 12 hour check in DA to help reduce any issues with checking SSL's
@DA_Mark could the SSL check be completed during the daily tally each night and then display a little green tick or Red Cross. That should sort DA checking SSL on each load which would cause a delay or higher load.
An SSL page in Admin would be useful as well to see which domains and services were covered and to re apply SSL if needed rather than logging into each account.
It's there, just hidden in last releases
We'll need to finish it... I'll list the domains, their certs, automation settings etc. No ETA on this yet, but it's in the works.
@smtalk Great News!
thank you... any more 'admin' pages?
Like a 'hidden' mod_sec?
Somehow one of my instances has Comodo WAF whereas the other doesn't.. goes off to search/rummage..
Edit2: @smtalk it appears that an interface is only available for Comodo, not OWASP. Any GUI "client" available for this?
BTW, some good updates by CSF today, showing strong commitment to DA.
