How to install DirectAdmin to your KVM VPS

1. Firstly, you will need an active DirectAdmin license.

Please check here if you are eligible for a free DirectAdmin license: https://greencloudvps.com/announcements/3/GreenCloudVPS-Offers-Free-DirectAdmin-With-VPS-and-Dedicated-Servers.html

Or you can purchase our Internal license for $5/mo: DirectAdmin License

2. Please check the OS requirements here: https://www.directadmin.com/install.php

3. Run pre-install commands listed here: https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=354

4. After that follow the guide here: https://www.directadmin.com/installguide.php

If you have issue installing DirectAdmin on our VPS, you can change the DNS to Google DNS. Open /etc/resolv.conf file and paste following lines in it:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Remove/comment out any existing lines.

5. Accessing the Control Panel DirectAdmin can be accessed at http://server.ip.address:2222 -- use the Admin username/password specified in the setup.txt file in your scripts directory located at /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/setup.txt

less /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/setup.txt

Or you can change the password directly via SSH with the command:

passwd admin
