As you know, Webalizer stats are usually updated once a day, when using a Directadmin server. What to do, if you need more current stats? Here are some solutions (work good for me on CentOS 5). If you need to update all server accounts, just type in the following command as root: echo “action=tally&value=all” >> [...]
Download RPMForge Package. Check your system with uname -a command to get the suitable package.

I tend to just write simple perl regex’s to work right on the user.conf files. eg: disable spam: cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/users perl -pi -e ‘s/spam=ON/spam=OFF/’ *.user.conf for example (of course, that’s just a setting and hasn’t actually “done” anything.. to really disable spam, you must [...]
Generally, this isn’t the best thing to have happen because all of the data is stored there. You’ll need to recreate all of the directory structures, as well as a few files required for DA to run: 1) Create the DA tmp directory so you can log into DA again: mkdir -p /home/tmp chmod 1777 [...]
*** Note: If you’re running a VPS with a “simfs” file system, quotas usually cannot be enabled with normal means. Contact yoru VPS provider to enable quotas for you. DirectAdmin relies on the system quotas to return a value for how much space is being used. DirectAdmin will run /usr/sbin/repquota /home Where /homeis the quota_partition [...]

If your Directadmin server faces a brute-force attack or script-kiddies are trying to guess your password, your message queue is full of messages. If you don’t check them periodically, you will have some problems deleting them. I have been away for 2 weeks so I didn’t check my server for messages. When I came back, [...]
