DirectAdmin

Just had my first job working on a directadmin VPS today. It's like a very badly done centminmod setup!

Just some of the config options (it defaults to the PHP5.3 and installs ioncube and zend)

Code:

#PHP settings. default_php possible values - 5 or 6, php5_ver - 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 or 5.5
default_php=5
php5_ver=5.4
php5_cli=no
php5_cgi=yes
php6_cli=no
php6_cgi=no
php_ini=no
#Possible values - recommended or dist
php_ini_type=recommended
ioncube=no
zend=no
php-devel=yes


#Possible values - 5.0, 5.1, 5.5, 5.6
mysql=5.5
mysql_inst=no
mysql_backup=yes
mysql_backup_dir=/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/mysql_backups

#Possible values - 1.3, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4
apache_ver=2.2
secure_htaccess=yes
harden-symlinks-patch=yes

#Web applications
phpmyadmin=yes
phpmyadmin_ver=3
atmail=yes
squirrelmail=yes
roundcube=yes
uebimiau=yes

#Mail options
exim=yes
eximconf=no
clamav=no
mailman=no
spamassassin=no
mail-header-patch=no
dovecot=yes

I had to re-build PHP just to enable php-devel to I could phpize xcache and built that.

I first logged in through the web page, and could see no options to do anything in there to update/rebuild/install anything. It's all done on the command line, via the options.conf.

You set the options you want, and then update it:

Code:

[root@srv custombuild]# ./build update

Yep, but I don't see the point in having a front end panel, when they make you do things on the command line like that. Defeats the object IMO, so might as well go full panel-less
