| If you are unable to access your server via http://1.2.3.4:2222, then 1 of 3 things is likely happening: 1. DirectAdmin might not be running or 2. You have a firewall blocking port 2222. Number 2 is easy to check by simply running (only on redhat systems): /sbin/service iptables stop If that didn't fix it, then you'd need to check your /var/log/directadmin/error.log to check for any errors as to why it isn't starting: tail /var/log/directadmin/error.log Common problems are:3. Incorrect ethernet_dev set in the /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf file. guide 4. Invalid license, either due to wrong uid/lid, IP, or date. Try: Updating your DirectAdmin License manually 5. Your IP is blacklisted in /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/ip_blacklist. This is controlled by the "brute force login detection" in Admin Settings. Use a setting no lower than 10, since even loading the login page counts as 1 failed attempt. 6. Binaries for a different operating system. Related You can always try running DirectAdmin by hand (if it's not already running) to see what the problem is. cd /usr/local/directadmin 7. If DirectAdmin is running, is bound to port 2222, but doesn't respond on "127.0.0.1", but does respond on "::1", then it's an IPv6 issue. This guide would be related. | ||
