How to modify the open_basedir setting for one domain
To change the open_basedir value when using php in CLI mode (not suPhp), you can do so by going to:
Admin Level -> Custom httpd configuration -> domain.com
In the top text area, insert this one line:
|?OPEN_BASEDIR_PATH=`HOME`/:/tmp:/usr/local/lib/php/|
which is the default value in the templates. Edit the paths in that line to meet your needs.

Setting up webmail.domain.com as default for new domains with DirectAdmin
1) You’ll need to setup the virtualhost for apache. This can be accomplished by adding a 2nd virtualhost along side the domains main one.
cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates
cp virtual_host.conf custom
cd custom
You’ll need to edit the newly copied virtual_host.conf (or virtual_host2.conf if you’re using apache 2) file , just add the following to the end of whatever you currently have.
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost |IP|:80>
ServerName webmail.|DOMAIN|
ServerAdmin |ADMIN|
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/squirrelmail
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/|DOMAIN|.bytes bytes
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/|DOMAIN|.log combined
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/domains/|DOMAIN|.error.log
</VirtualHost>
Save and exit. Then run
echo “action=rewrite&value=httpd” >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d
to rewrite the httpd.conf files.
2) You’ll also need to setup the dns portition.
cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates
cp dns_a.conf custom
cd custom
echo “webmail=|IP|” >> dns_a.conf
This will setup the webmail A record for new dns zones. For existing dns zones, you’ll have to manually add the webmail A record to point to the domains IP.
