emergency, dumb mistake

[young]

i had da running and websites setup for months now. i wanted to see what would happen if i ran install.sh

i have a new ui for directadmin, but now all the sites on the server i tried to get to shows "Apache is functioning normally"

what can i do?

[young]

i tried restarting da, now da isn't coming back up

Hello,

At the bottom of your httpd.conf there were includes for each of your hosted users. httpd.conf was likely overwritten when you re-ran install.sh.

To the bottom of httpd.conf, append the following line for each {user} on your system:
Include /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/{user}/httpd.conf
That may fix this, if your users' data files still exist in /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/

Good luck.

Just make sure you backup everything. :)

You may want to contact DA's official support line -- support@directadmin.com -- first though ;)

thank you, but the httpd.conf files aren't there anymore. is there anyway i can regenerate them for all users?

[l0rdphi1]

Yes, you can regenerate your users' httpd.conf files, however DA neeeds to be running to do that.
echo "action=rewrite&value=httpd" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queuePhi1.

I'm betting the /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/ directory is nearly empty, if so, how faithful were you (or the server admin) at making backups?

the admin directory in /usr/local/directadmin/data/users looks like it got reset, but the other user directories look untouched.

i have the other user sites working. i think i just have to re add the domains for the admin. but when i tried to re add the domain, it said it already exists.

That's because DNS files for the domains still exist. Remove them as /var/named/{domain}.db and you should be good.
