Creating Disk Images

  1. Update all libraries on the the box to their latest version, and install any extra items you'd like.
  2. Install a default copy of DirectAdmin on a template server.
  3. Install any extra items / settings /customizations as desired.
  4. Delete the installer license.key, so that nobody else gets a hold of it.
  5. Create the image using whatever method you would like.
  6. Copy the image to the new server
  7. Download a fresh license, and use the ipswap.sh and getLicense.sh scripts to update the server to the new IP with a new license.
  8. Update DirectAdmin by adding this command after the license is installed:

    echo 'action=update&value=program' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
