switch to the folder containing files, in my case:

cd /var/spool/exim/

ans start deleting files by typing:

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -delete

you can track the number of remaining files easily by tiping the below command from another terminal: (cd to same directory)

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f | wc -l

cd /root
wget ftp://ftp.astron.com/pub/freetds/current/freetds-current.tgz
tar -xvzf freetds-current.tgz
cd freetds-dev.0.92.377
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freetds
make
make install

Now we should tell Direct Admin’s custom build that we want the MS Sql libraries installed using freetds.Edit the file :/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/configure/ap2/configure.php5 add

--with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds \

to anywhere in the file. If you’re adding it the to end of the file, don’t add the \ at the end, instead add to the end of the line “before” the last line. Now go to custombuild and build the new PHP.

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build clean
./build php d

Check if MS Sql is intalled.

php -m|grep mssql
mssql

exim -bpru | tr '\n' + | sed -e "s/++/=/g" | tr -d + | tr = '\n' | grep "spammer@email.com" | awk {'print $3'} | xargs exim -Mrm

Simple replace the spammer@email.com address with the potential spammer.
Don’t forget that this command uses the whole queue list to process. Sometimes if you have hundreds of thousands of email from this spammer in queue, it will get hard to process them all for the system. So instead of using the whole queue list, we can break it down to pieces with the head command.

The command below will break it down to pieces of 5000, so if you have more than 5000, you should run this command several times.

exim -bpru | head -n 5000 | tr '\n' + | sed -e "s/++/=/g" | tr -d + | tr = '\n' | grep "spammer@email.com" | awk {'print $3'} | xargs exim -Mrm

To delete all mails from the queue, simply use this command.

exim -bp | awk '/^ *[0-9]+[mhd]/{print "exim -Mrm " $3}' | sh

Even though you can add IP addresses on Direct Admin using it’s GUI, unfortunately the GUI fails if the netmask or the gateway is different. So if you have a server running Direct Admin with the IP address 10.10.10.5 and you want to add a new IP address like 192.168.16.7 then you’ll run into some problems.

To deal with it, we can add the IP’s manually. You can either add the IP’s to a new device, or an alias to a present device.

Let’s first learn what device we’re using.

ifconfig

This will probably return something like “eth0” which is he device.
If you’d like to add your new IP as an alias to this one, simple create the file below:

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:1

DEVICE=eth0:1
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=192.168.10.7
NETMASK=255.255.255.248

Note that there’s no Gateway specified here, so if you’d like to add an IP address with a different gateway, create the file below (with your own settings ofcouse)

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR=AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
IPADDR=192.168.10.7
NETMASK=255.255.255.248
GATEWAY=192.168.10.1

After this, just restart your network service. (Don’t forget that if you do anything wrong, you probably won’t be able to reach your server over network)

service network restart

The same goes for the PHP-SOAP too. Yet don’t freak out, it’s very simple.

Go to your Direct Admin custom build directory

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild

Now let’s see our custom build configuration files.

./build used_configs

One of the outputs is the PHP configuration file, edit that file,

/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/configure/suphp/configure.php5

Now append –enable-soap to the end of the file. Don’t forget to add a “\” to the end of the last line.

After this, save the file and exit. Now we’re ready to recompile php.

./build php all

That’s it!

This happens with exim especially when moving from one server to another via Directadmin.

To verify this solution, first check your paniclog:

tail /var/log/exim/paniclog

If you get something like this:

2012-06-08 18:53:01 1SczTF-0002Cj-B8 Failed to find user “” from expanded string “${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}” for the domain_filter router

then you probably have an issue with your domainowners file. as you can see, the perl script can’t parse the username, hence the error “unknown user” when receiving email.

The solution is to rebuild the /etc/virtual directory

Get a backup

cd /etc
cp -Rp virtual virtual.backup

Verify its existance

mkdir -p /etc/virtual
chmod 755 /etc/virtual
chown mail:mail /etc/virtual

Create this script and save it somewhere, let’s say /root/fix_virtual.sh

#!/bin/sh

echo -n '' > /etc/virtual/domains
echo -n '' > /etc/virtual/domainowners

mkdir -p /etc/virtual/`hostname`
chown mail:mail /etc/virtual/`hostname`
chmod 711 /etc/virtual/`hostname`
echo `hostname` >> /etc/virtual/domains

for u in `ls /usr/local/directadmin/data/users`; do
{
       for d in `cat /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/$u/domains.list`; do
       {
               echo "$d: $u" >> /etc/virtual/domainowners
               echo "$d" >> /etc/virtual/domains

               DMN=/etc/virtual/$d

               mkdir -p $DMN
               chmod 711 $DMN
               chown mail:mail $DMN

               touch $DMN/aliases
               if [ ! -s $DMN/aliases ]; then
                       echo "$u: $u" > $DMN/aliases
               fi
               touch $DMN/autoresponder.conf
               touch $DMN/filter
               touch $DMN/filter.conf
               touch $DMN/passwd
               touch $DMN/quota
               touch $DMN/vacation.conf
               chown mail:mail $DMN/*

               mkdir -p $DMN/majordomo
               chmod 751 $DMN/majordomo
               chown majordomo:daemon $DMN/majordomo

               mkdir -p $DMN/reply
               chmod 700 $DMN/reply
               chown mail:mail $DMN/reply

               for p in `cat /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/$u/domains/$d.pointers 2>/dev/null`; do
               {
                       echo "$p: $u"  >> /etc/virtual/domainowners
                       echo "$p" >> /etc/virtual/domains
                       ln -s $d /etc/virtual/$p
               };
               done;
       }
       done;
}
done;

chown mail:mail /etc/virtual/domains
chown mail:mail /etc/virtual/domainowners
chmod 644 /etc/virtual/domainowners
chmod 644 /etc/virtual/domains

Make it exacutable and run.

chmod 755 /root/fix_virtual.sh
/root/fix_virtual.sh

Restart exim services

service exim restart

Your problem should be fixed.

less /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/setup.txt

adminpass= you can find admin password here, and if you didn’t change it after installing you should be able to log in to your admin interface

to change admin password by ssh or console, write:

passwd admin

and enter your new password.

The post How to Reset DirectAdmin “admin” Password appeared first on VeriTeknik.

If you didn’t change this password you can find the default one in the setup.txt, use the command below to see the contents of /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/setup.txt:

your password is stored in the line starting with “mysql=”

To see the contents of this file from a terminal, type:

less /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/setup.txt

If you want to access mysql from ssh or console directly without typing password, create a file in /root/ dir called .my.cnf:

touch /root/.my.cnf

and edit this file with the vi editor:

vi /root/.my.cnf

Add the lines below:

[client]
 user=root
 password=XXXXXX

Fill the password with the pass you got from setup.txt, save the file with SHIFT+ZZ or :wq and exit. After this step just write mysql to enter MySQL console directly without password.

[root@test ~]# mysql
 Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
 Your MySQL connection id is 169833
 Server version: 5.0.77-log MySQL Community Edition (GPL)
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

1. Add an additional IP for the second DNS Server, to do so, click to the “IP Management” link in the “Admin Level”. While adding IP address, pay attention to SUBNET value and be sure to assign the same subnet as the IP address or you network may hang, after adding process is complete, choose 2 IP adresses and click to the “Assign to admin” button.
2. In the second step, Click “user level” link located at the right-top side of the page. Click “Domain Setup” link and click “add new domain”. enter the main site name without www.
3. Switch to reseller level, below the title “Extra Features” click “nameservers” link. Use the IP addresses just added to create the name servers of the default domain. Select both IP addresses and click “Create” button. With this step finished you set-up basic operation of DirectAdmin. Further, you can create your reseller plans and you can edit your main site’s settings through “User Level” menu.
4. You can update your system any time using “yum upgrade -y” via ssh or terminal and your control panel through a terminal using “custombuild”
5. http://www.directadmin.com/forum/ includes various information about your control panel.

Security & performance Guidelines

1. Change SSHD port to something you know or only allow certain IP addresses to access SSH
2. edit php.ini and set your date.timezone, restrict calling of system functions
3. Optimize MySQL by setting /etc/my.cnf
