Can’t login to DirectAdmin on port 2222

1. DirectAdmin might not be running or
2. You have a firewall blocking port 2222.

In case issue 2ยบ is the one affecting you,

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp –dport 2222 -j ACCEPT

Check your /var/log/directadmin/error.log to check for any errors as to why it isn’t starting:

tail /var/log/directadmin/error.log

Common problems are:

1. Incorrect ethernet_dev set in the /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf file. guide
2. Invalid license, either due to wrong uid/lid, IP, or date. Try: Updating your DirectAdmin License manually
3. Binaries for a different operating system.

You can always try running DirectAdmin by hand (if it’s not already running) to see what the problem is.

cd /usr/local/directadmin
./directadmin b200
