DirectAdmin Installation
Control panel for web hosting companies running Red Hat 7.x, 8.x, 9.x, Red Hat Enterprise and FreeBSD.
Requirements
- Clean OS install
- At least one external IP address (NAT/LAN-based systems will NOT work)
- SSH installed, gcc and g++ installed
- Client account at https://www.directadmin.com/clients
Installation!
You *have* to add “AllowUsers username” to /etc/ssh/sshd_config before you log out from root or you’ll lose root on the server forever, and you’ll have to format.
Login as root and download the setup.sh file
Use “fetch” instead of “wget” on FreeBSD systems.
Change permissions on the setup.sh file
Run the setup script!
You will be prompted for a client ID number, license ID number, and hostname.
Important: The hostname should not be the same as the primary domain name. e.g. example.com is not a good hostname, where server.example.com is. Having the same host/main domain name will cause e-mail and FTP problems. Also, please make sure the hostname resolves once you setup DNS.
