DNS Cluster in DA. I wish to keep my DNS remote & if I switch I would prefer my DNS to run on DA. A couple of $24 DA licences should be enough for it?
So DirectAdmin isn't like cPanel where a user can have their DNS cluster attached and their zones sync there. I've got a few resellers that run their own dnsonly boxes that are linked to their reseller.
If you're in full root control of your DA boxes then yep, you can just install DA on a box and then setup Multi-Server mode and tell it to only validate/sync DNS zones.
Suppose by the end of this year we might see a tested and well functioning solution.

Now it's me having a question:
All I wanted to to is change some global PHP settings...
So I did a /usr/local/bin/php --ini | grep 'Loaded Configuration File'
and learned that the php.ini location is in /usr/local/php72/lib/php.ini
I changed the values and restarted Apache.
Still the changes are not applied. What does Directadmin expect me to do? Their documentation is a mess when searching via Google.You never know whether it is outdated information, or nor. That sucks a bit...
Same problem
I guess you're running PHP-FPM? That way you'd need to reload/restart PHP-FPM service for the settings to take effect If you're running CloudLinux - please don't forget PHP is in CageFS, so, "cagefsctl --force-update" might be the answer.

Now I added a new domain but it doesnt appear in the list of domains of DA but it shows under domains folder of File manager
I think it failed to add the domain, likely due to custom scripts? Anything in /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custom ?
@exp said:
The Lets encrypt renew still fails for 2 domains. Manually creating wildcard for these 2 domains also fail. DA is really buggy. I hope they focus on 'functionality' first before the 'eye candy'
Wildcard certificate needs DNS validation, meaning DNS must be controlled on the same DA server. Otherwise non-wildcard is the only option
I used many panels in the years.. cPanel,Plesk,ISP,centos Webpanel,webmin... Some time ago I switched to DA.
DA is so easy to use. I really like it and want to stay with it.
You definitely can use a DA personal licence just for DNS clustering? I am sure I bought the personal licences I have for that reason but can't see a definitive answer anywhere.

The setup I have with cPanel, I am not sure if it is possible to replicate that with DA
I use separate domains for nameservers ( with cPanel DNSonly) & hostnames to where I login for managing my domains
ns1.nameserverdomain.com & ns2.nameserverserverdomain.com are hostnames for DNSonly setup on 2 vps from DO
And a separate subdamain.mydomain.com (this domain is different from what I am using for DNSonly) for hostname on the server where I actually host my websites which is with BuyVM
If it is possible to replicate such a setup on DA, I might switch
Already paying 4 times of what I was paying before the price hike of cPanel
Already have DA based hostings from a bunch of providers & I am happy with them but the above setup is for something more mission critical
I am now successfully running that setup where my server let's call it server1.mydomain.com pushes dns zones to 2 remote boxes hosted with DA ns1.mydomain.com & ns2.mydomain.com
Now the question is how do I setup recursion that this setup serves dns zones hosted on server1.mydomain.com & if needed in future server2.mydomain.com
In other words I want to make sure that none of my servers can be used to launch ddos attacks
I am aware of that & I am running a remote DNS setup with DirectAdmin successfully, all I want is to stop others from utilizing my server to launch ddos attacks i.e recursion

Is that still using bind? If so, it'll look like this in your named.conf:
Having spent a few days building scripts with the DA API I have to say, gimmie a REST API. I mean, I get it, the current one is old but language agnostic which is fine depending on which way you roll an implementation. Not a big thing I know, it works as is, was just a bit painful to get going with it, having to refer to .conf files and so on to find everything you wanted to call.
then i want to make sub1.mydomain.com BUT i want to point it to another IP so what i do is..
Go to Account Manager -> Click Sub-Domains Setup
Click Add Subdomain, then type sub1.mydomain.com then click Add Subdomain
Back to Dashboard, then Click DNS Management
Edit A and AAAA Record for sub1 and www.sub1 to desired IP
Done
Am i doing this properly? i did tried to check using dig a sub1.mydomain.com and dig aaaa sub1.mydomain.com it seems my domain pointing to right IP address
smallweb KB is still small for time being, it's my first time using direct admin and i'm pretty impressed

Sorry for late reply. @MikePT already fixed the domain
For the SSL, I think it doesnt work since only way to do DCV is via DNS. My dns is on Cloudflare... How to switch to file method? Also, I see you can only disable SSL for whole domain unlike in cPanel you can do it per domain or subdomain.
I dont think the DCV entries I need to copy over to Cloudflare is in DA dns management. I will have to recheck it. But doesnt those entries change each time SSL is renewed? Then I will need to manually copy over every 3 months...

How about alternative domain control validation for Let's encrypt? Those using cloudflare for dns management and DA for web hosting results to SSL not being renewed. Since by default validation is done via DNS in DA dns manager. Cant DA switch to file method via domain.com/.well-known/pki-validation ?
Also will DA support orders via subdomain instead of a domain? I want to offer free subdomain with hosting plan. Are you doing this already @seriesn with servedez.com and DA?

Simply don’t setup wildcard ssl

We don’t do subdomain as it severely impacts overall domain reputation and the risk is not worth the hassle since freenom does exist
You can allow specific domains to be used for sub domains

Kinda saddens me that the master/alpha reseller is now a thing on DirectAdmin.

You could keep your ns1 and ns2 with cPanel only, and link your DA - take a read of this

Just create the A Record then in the DNS Manager.

For DA reseller, it seems you cant edit existing user packages? You have to delete and create a new one.
