If you need to update your copy of DirectAdmin manually, you can do so by running the following commands:
cd /usr/local/directadmin
wget --no-check-certificate -O update.tar.gz 'https://www.directadmin.com/cgi-bin/daupdate?redirect=ok&uid=7353&lid=59232'
tar xvzf update.tar.gz
./directadmin p
cd scripts
./update.sh
/etc/init.d/directadmin restart
head -n 1 update.tar.gz
to search for an error. If there is an readble error inside the file, then you'll need to contact sales@directadmin.com to get your license activated or updated.Using the above redirect=ok option in the download string will tell the daupdate that the downloader being used supports Location header redirects. The daupdate script will offload downloads when possible to other servers.
If you'd like automated DA updates, there a few ways of going about it. (we don't trigger updates from our end to your server anymore)
- CustomBuild can be set to cron auto update the services, and if you also use da_autoupdate=yes, CB will do it for you. However, automated CB updates isn't always recommended.
- A simple cronjob that runs this command is likely safer, if you only want DA to be auto-updated:
echo "action=update&value=program" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
Each night that the update is rejected, you'll get a note in your /var/log/directadmin/system.log.Note Pre-release and regular updates to not issue full config rewrites. If you need a template change, you must issue a full rewrite to get it:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build rewrite_confs
