Hi,

Where can i change the emailadres of the server administrator?
Should i look in the httpd.conf file?
It's now set to a fictive adress. My provider set up the server for me. I need it to change in case of crashes.

Do also DA administrators get a warning when crashes occur?
I did'nt get a warning when mysql was down...

Thank you!

Automatic Recovery From Crashes

DirectAdmin TaskQueue ensures that all services are up, all of the time. If something crashes, DirectAdmin will attempt to fix the problem by restarting the service. If this fails, DirectAdmin will notify the server administrator immediately.

I am not sure what you mean , but if you do a list of the administrators and select the admina account , then select userdata ,there you can adjust the e-mail address.

I just want to check that i get all the warnings when a system goes down.

I found a wrong emailadress in httpd.conf and changed it to my emailadres. (ServerAdmin) Now i hope te be informed when my server fails on a service.

Are there any other locations where i can check for my correct emailadress?

Thank you!

The email address in httpd isn't used anywhere except in server produced error messages (if you've set it up that way). If httpd is down, you won't get a message at that address.

As jerry2005 pointed out, you can change your admin address through the admin login; change the admin's user data.
