Creating your own certificates for DirectAdmin
Advantage of creating your own certificates:
You can switch DirectAdmin to use SSL instead of plain text. -> https instead of http on port 2222.
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
Upgrading Your Plesk Control Panel
You can easily install the necessary updates, control panel add-ons, and even upgrade your control panel to the latest available release using Parallels Plesk Panel Updater function within your control panel.
To upgrade your Parallels Plesk Panel or update its components:
1. Go to Home > Updates (in the Help & Support group).
The control panel connects to the Parallels official update server at URL http://autoinstall.plesk.com, retrieves information on the available releases, then analyses the components installed in the system and displays the lists of available releases and component updates. For each release a brief description of available operations is displayed.
Select the release version that you want to update, or upgrade to. A list of available components appears.
Select the check boxes corresponding to the components you wish to install and click Install. A confirmation screen appears.
Specify your e-mail address. You will be sent a notice by e-mail once update is completed. To confirm installation of the selected components, select the check box and click OK. The components/updates you selected will be downloaded and automatically installed in the background mode.
You can check for errors in the autoinstaller.log file located in the /tmp directory on the server hard drive.
