Installing of Directadmin is rather very easy to do so.
Before you install Directadmin via SSH, please ensure your VPS IP or Dedicated Server IP is already licensed, as directadmin will detect the license first before start the command to install inside the SSH.
Install guide
Step1: Do you meet the system requirements?
Clean OS install: check this page to ensure you've got a supported OS.
At least one external IP address.
Step2: Make sure your license information is correct
Sign into your client account and click the "view" link next to your license.
Verify that the server IP address and operating system is correct. Also make sure that the license is Active and Verified (if it isn't, then our billing system hasn't processed your order yet).
Step3: Begin the installation!
Login as root to your server, download the installation script, and run it:
bash <(curl -Ss https://www.directadmin.com/setup.sh || wget -O - https://www.directadmin.com/setup.sh) auto
The auto method will be best for most people. It automatically installs everything for you, including the CSF firewall.
It can also be called without the'auto' option, which requires input but allows for customization.
Important: The hostname should not be the same as the primary domain name. e.g. gary.com is not a good hostname, where server.gary.com is. Having the same host/main domain name will cause e-mail and FTP problems. Also, please make sure the hostname resolves once you set up DNS.
Accessing the Control Panel
DirectAdmin can be accessed at http://server.ip.address:2222. Use the Admin username/password from the output information provided by setup.sh (the same information is specified in the /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/setup.txt file).
