File permissions for virtual pop inboxes in DirectAdmin
Any domains that you want to use for email (eg: mydomain.com) must be in both the /etc/virtual/domains file and the /etc/virtual/domainowners file.
The directory /etc/virtual/mydomain.com must exist and the files /etc/virtual/mydomain.com/passwd and /etc/virtual/mydomain.com/aliases exist.
File permissions for virtual pop inboxes should be the following below but not applicable with Dovecot/Maildir:
/var/spool/virtual/domain.com 770 username:mail
/var/spool/virtual/domain.com/* 660 username:mail
Creating your own SSL certificate for DirectAdmin
Note : that this is for the DirectAdmin connection on port 2222.
You can switch DirectAdmin to use SSL instead of plain text. -> https instead of http on port 2
If you do not have your own certificates, you’ll need to create your own:
/usr/bin/openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout /usr/local/directadmin/conf/cakey.pem -out /usr/local/directadmin/conf/cacert.pem -days 9999 -nodes
And then
chown diradmin:diradmin /usr/local/directadmin/conf/cakey.pem
chmod 400 /usr/local/directadmin/conf/cakey.pem
Edit the /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf and set SSL=1 (default is 0). This tells DA to load the certificate and key and to use an SSL connection. DirectAdmin needs to be restarted after this change.
Installing C++ preprocessor in DirectAdmin
If you encounter this error message, this would imply that you do not have g++ installed:
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler… no
checking whether g++ accepts -g… no
checking dependency style of g++… none
checking how to run the C++ preprocessor… /lib/cpp
*** The make has failed, do you want to try to make again? (y,n):
The gcc-c++ rpm and all it’s dependancies are required to resolve the issue.
Some dependancies include:
libstdc++-devel
libstdc++
If you have up2date, simply run:

If you have an RSA PRIVATE KEY then you would have a password encrypted key.
This will not work with DirectAdmin since it would require someone to type in a password each time apache restarts.
You do not have to start over, you can convert this password protected key into a normal key by typing:
openssl rsa -in /path/to/your/key -out /the/new/key
where you’d replace the bold values with appropriate values.
This will ask you for the password you specified when you created the original key.
It will then create a non-password-protected key that you can use for DA.

If you want webalizer or awstats pages to be available by default for new domains, you can do so by creating:
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custom/domain_create_post.sh
In the file add the code
#!/bin/sh
ln -s ../stats /home/$username/domains/$domain/public_html/stats
exit 0;
Then chmod the domain_create_post.sh script to 755.
If you want it to be for awstats, then change the bold stats name to be awstats instead.
