DirectAdmin Not Starting

[jlp09550]

DirectAdmin doesn't want to start automatically after a system re-boot. May I ask what is the command to start DA manually? I forgot what it was.

Oh, and here is the error in the error log:
2006:07:31-04:27:03: ioctl can't find the server's ip address for vmnet0
2006:07:31-04:27:03: The ip of this machine () does not match the ip in the license file.<br>

Please help,
Jared

Hello,

Type:

/sbin/ifconfig

which will dump out a list of ethernet devices on your system.
Edit your /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf and set:

ethernet_dev=devicename

where devicename is the name of the device holdig that IP address.

When you see the device with that IP, you should be able to type:

/sbin/ifconfig devicename

and it will dump out the information, which should include your server IP address.

OK, and what is the command to run that will restart DA?

[DirectAdmin Support]

If it's not running, the dataskq will probably start it for you without doing anything, but the command is:

Linux:
/sbin/service directadmin start

Debian:
/etc/init.d/directadmin start

FreeBSD:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/directadmin start

I usually do a "restart" instead of start, in case it's already running.
