Install DirectAdmin Control Panel On CentOS 7
DirectAdmin is an alternative control panel to cPanel/WHM. This installation guide will outline how to install the DirectAdmin control panel on CentOS 7 64bit server. I will be using a Las Vegas BuyVM.net 1GB dedicated KVM Slice VPS server which costs US$3.50/month – they also generously offer a free DirectAdmin license with every VPS server.
Seems like the cheapest way to get access to DirectAdmin for testing/learning purposes. The 1GB KVM plan only has 20GB disk space which isn’t suitable for production usage but for purpose of writing this guide and learning on DirectAdmin, it should suffice. Otherwise, if your web host doesn’t provide a DirectAdmin license you’d have to buy a DirectAdmin license directly with DirectAdmin. As I am new to DirectAdmin, this guide serves a dual purpose in also documenting my learning and experiences with DirectAdmin installation process. As such this guide will be constantly updated over time so check back regularly. I’ve added a last updated date timestamp for this very purpose. Update: besides DirectAdmin standard licenses, there are also DirectAdmin Lite & Personal limited license options available. For details of what DirectAdmin limited licenses mean, read here.
The following DirectAdmin installation steps are based on the official DirectAdmin outlined documentation for:

- Common DirectAdmin pre-installation commands
- DirectAdmin SSL setup and configuration

Step 1. CentOS 7 server preparation
DirectAdmin system requirements guidelines outline specific recommendations. The ones relevant to this DirectAdmin installation are:
- For CentOS 7, use the xfs quota system. If you use ext4, add use_xfs_quota=0 to the /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf.
- Swap disk size – for less than 2GB memory based servers, set swap disk size to 2x memory installed. For 2-8GB memory-based servers set swap disk size to the same amount as installed memory. For greater than 8GB memory-based servers, set swap disk size to at least 4GB.
- Ensure basic development/compiling tools such as gcc, g++, and perl have been installed
- Do not install services such as Apache, PHP, MySQL, Ftp, Sendmail, etc as DirectAdmin installation will take care of installation and configuration of such services. A full outline list of what DirectAdmin installs can be found at https://www.directadmin.com/technologies.php
- At a bare minimum, your server must have one static IPv4 IP address. However, for DNS control you will sometimes need at least two (2) IP addresses. With only one IP address you might be forced to use an external DNS service, depending on your registrar. This means websites you create through the control panel will not propagate automatically. For this DirectAdmin installation guide, I’ll be using only one static IPv4 IP address with intention of using Cloudflare for DNS management.
- Setup and configuration of your DirectAdmin server’s hostname which should not be the same as the primary domain name. e.g. yourdomain.com is not a good hostname, where server.yourdomain.com or host.yourdomain.com is. If you have signed up with a VPS or dedicated server provider, at order time you would have specified a hostname to label and name your server. This is usually the hostname that the CentOS 7 image will configure out of the box when you log in for the first time and as such may require changing to a hostname that suits your needs.
So within your SSH logged-in session as the root user, run the following commands to prepare your CentOS 7 server for DirectAdmin installation.
Configuring your hostname for your DirectAdmin server. You can find the currently registered hostname for your CentOS 7 server via either of these commands:
uname -n hostname
On BuyVM.net VPS there’s currently a bug in their system which incorrectly populates the hostname as the following instead of your entered hostname at order time. BuyVM folks are aware of this bug and actively working on a fix.
[root@roblifehack ~]# uname -n roblifehack.com [root@roblifehack ~]# hostname roblifehack.com
The bug also appears in the default BuyVM Stallion control panel’s networking PTR configuration field so you will need to adjust those to your desired hostname with the proceeding instructions.
If your desired hostname needs changing you can do that now using the command below changing hostname.yourdomain.com to your own desired hostname.
hostnamectl set-hostname hostname.yourdomain.com
You can verify with with above commands used to get current registered hostname or via:
hostnamectl status
Then ensure your hostname’s DNS works via DNS A record pointing to the DirectAdmin server’s public IP address. This is important for proper mail delivery from the server and for DirectAdmin licensing checks.
Configuring a swap disk. As DirectAdmin does do quite a bit of source compilation, my own experience with Centmin Mod LEMP stack has taught me that on low memory VPS servers, always have adequate swap disk size. So I opted to configure a 3GB swap disk for this 1GB BuyVM KVM VPS server. Below SSH commands create a 3GB swap disk for DirectAdmin to use.
if [ "$(df -hT | grep -w xfs)" ]; then dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=3072k; else fallocate -l 3G /swapfile; fi mkswap /swapfile swapon /swapfile chown root:root /swapfile chmod 0600 /swapfile swapon -s echo "/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab mount -a free -m
BuyVM.net VPS already provisioned a 1GB swap file so this change would increase your total swap available to 4GB
free -ml
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 991 59 412 12 518 757
Low: 991 578 412
High: 0 0 0
Swap: 1023 0 1023
After adding a 3GB swap file to the existing 1GB swap file = 4GB swap total
free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 991 61 405 12 524 755
Swap: 4095 0 4095
Installing basic development and compiling tools via YUM. I also add the following additional YUM packages:
- nano – my preferred linux text editor
- cmake, cmake3 – for compiling other software which may use cmake or version 3 of cmake
- screen – useful to run lengthy scripts or where you want your SSH session to survive disconnections from SSH
- sysstat – access to useful system resource gathering tools like sar, pidstat, mpstat, and iostat
- perl-libwww-perl – required if you want to install CSF Firewall
- perl-Crypt-SSLeay – required if you want to install CSF Firewall
- Perl-Net-SSLeay – required if you want to install CSF Firewall
- Perl-LWP-Protocol-HTTPS – required if you want to install CSF Firewall for CentOS 7
- GeoIP-devel
- GeoIP
- mlocate
- bc
- jq – install via EPEL YUM repo
- nghttp2 – for HTTPS/SSL diagnostics testing and access to h2load HTTP/2 HTTPS load tester
- Redis – install via Remi YUM repo for newer version that CentOS 7 base YUM repo version
- memcached – install via Remi YUM repo for a newer version that CentOS 7 base YUM repo version
- memcached-devel – install via Remi YUM repo for a newer version that CentOS 7 base YUM repo version

Disabling SELINUX
setenforce 0 sed -i 's|enforcing|disabled|g' /etc/selinux/config
A YUM update and reboot is highly recommended before proceeding to ensure that your Linux Kernel is the latest available patch fixed for Meltdown/Spectre and other vulnerabilities.
yum -y update reboot
After setting up 3+1 = 4GB swap disks and doing YUM updates and package installs, current disk usage is:
df -hT Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/vda1 ext4 19G 4.8G 13G 27% / devtmpfs devtmpfs 486M 0 486M 0% /dev tmpfs tmpfs 496M 0 496M 0% /dev/shm tmpfs tmpfs 496M 6.7M 489M 2% /run tmpfs tmpfs 496M 0 496M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs tmpfs 100M 0 100M 0% /run/user/0
Step 2. Verify your DirectAdmin license information.
If you didn’t get your DirectAdmin license from your web host but direct with DirectAdmin, sign into your client account at https://www.directadmin.com/clients and
- Click the “view” link next to your license and make sure that the license is Active and Verified (if it isn’t, then DirectAdmin’s billing system hasn’t processed the order yet).
- Verify that the server IP address and operating system are correct.
For BuyVM.net they offer free DirectAdmin licenses for their VPS which you can order after your BuyVM VPS has been provisioned and assigned an IP address here. The order form prompts you to provide the IP address of the BuyVM VPS server you intend to install DirectAdmin on, Once ordered you should see your DirectAdmin license listed in the services listing. Clicking on the service will reveal the DirectAdmin license id, client id, status and registered IP and OS. Note, for new first time BuyVM VPS customers when you first provision a new VPS, mail ports are blocked by default until you contact their technical support to unblock the mail ports. This is a one-time task you need to do.
You’ll also receive an email from BuyVM with DirectAdmin license details
Step 3. DirectAdmin Installation
Now to the actual DirectAdmin install which is done as the root user in the SSH logged-in session. You first download the DirectAdmin setup.sh script and give it executable permissions. You can download setup.sh and save anywhere on your server but I generally like to group all my tools in a directory like /root/tools
mkdir -p /root/tools cd /root/tools wget -4 https://www.directadmin.com/setup.sh chmod 755 setup.sh
Next is to actually run the setup.sh script. If you have a flaky SSH connection and do not want SSH disconnections to occur during setup.sh run, you can run setup.sh within a screen session. I also raise the default screen scrollback limit in /root/.screenrc.
You will be prompted for a client ID number, license ID number, and hostname when you run setup.sh as well as ethernet adaptor device name for the public IP address for the server.
- The hostname should not be the same as the primary domain name and should of been the same one we prepared and configured in step 1 preparation stage e.g. yourdomain.com is not a good hostname, where server.yourdomain.com or host.yourdomain.com is.
- Having the same host/main domain name will cause e-mail and FTP problems.
- Also, make sure the hostname resolves once you set up DNS – so ensure a DNS A record for your hostname exists pointing to the DirectAdmin server’s public IP address.
- You can find the list of your ethernet adaptor’s device name for public IP via command. For BuyVM VPS the public IP is on eth0 device name
/sbin/ifconfig
Actual DirectAdmin installation commands for running setup.sh or read further below on customizing setup.sh runs:
echo "defscrollback 200000" >> /root/.screenrc screen -dmS directadmin screen -r directadmin time ./setup.sh
Pre-configure DirectAdmin Installs
Was only made aware after writing this article that you can customize setup.sh and use preset options.conf prior to actual install via outlined instructions here. You can see this DirectAdmin installations final options.conf file settings in a Gist file here.
To populate these SSH session variables or put them into a script the following. Where YOUR_LINK_TO_HOSTED_OPTIONS_FILE would be something like https://yourdomain.com/options.conf where you host the customized options.conf file usually created by DirectAdmin at /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/options.conf.
clientid=YOUR_CLIENTID licenseid=YOUR_LICENSEID hostname=YOUR_HOSTNAME ip=YOUR_SERVERIP devicename=YOUR_ETHERNET_DEVICENAME opturl=YOUR_LINK_TO_HOSTED_OPTIONS_FILE custombuild_ver=2.0
Also you can pre-configure your DirectAdmin admin email and nameservers in the following files prior to running setup.sh:
- /root/.email.txt
- /root/.ns1.txt
- /root/.ns2.txt
Then you’d change your setup.sh run to
mkdir -p /root/tools cd /root/tools wget -4 https://www.directadmin.com/setup.sh chmod 755 setup.sh echo "defscrollback 200000" >> /root/.screenrc screen -dmS directadmin screen -r directadmin echo $custombuild_ver > /root/.custombuild time ./setup.sh $clientid $licenseid $hostname $devicename $ip
If you have a preconfigured options.conf config file you saved from an existing DirectAdmin server location at /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/options.conf, you can use that too by setting up /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/options.conf before running setup.sh by downloading your custom options.conf file from remote server or Gist hosted file you defined in above-populated variables for $opturl. You can see this DirectAdmin installations final options.conf file settings in a Gist file here.
Downloading preset options.conf to /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/options.conf
mkdir -p /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild wget -O /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/options.conf $opturl
Example using my Gist file to prepopulate options.conf and using sed to replace values for redirect_host (remember to also configure and setup DirectAdmin over HTTPS) and email options:
HOSTNAME='hostname.yourdomain.com' EMAIL='your_directadmin_email' mkdir -p /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild curl -s -4 https://gist.githubusercontent.com/centminmod/62cc0bcdb44977718f98390a93ad8776/raw/options.conf | sed -e "s|^redirect_host=.*|redirect_host=$HOSTNAME|" -e "s|^email=.*|email=$EMAIL|" > /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/options.conf
The setup.sh has various setup question prompts for you to answer. Once all question prompts have been answered it’s waiting for DirectAdmin installation process to complete. As there’s source compilation involved, how fast DirectAdmin installs will depend on your specific server hardware configuration.
- The higher the cpu clock frequency, the faster source compilations go.
- The more CPU threads available, the faster source compilations should go if DirectAdmin makes use of multiple CPU threads during source compilation.
- The faster the underlying disk storage layer i.e. NVMe SSD vs SSD vs non-SSD, the faster source compilations are.
- New cpu models are generally clock for clock faster than previous cpu generations.

If you do happen to get disconnected from your SSH session during setup.sh run, you can just SSH login again and reattach the screen session named, DirectAdmin and will see the setup.sh script is still continuing it’s run if it hasn’t finished yet or may see that setup.sh run has completed.
screen -r directadmin
Once DirectAdmin is installed to access the control panel on port 2222, you’d need to whitelist it in CentOS 7’s Firewalld firewall.
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=2222/tcp
However, on my BuyVM VPS server, DirectAdmin installs instance, I was able to reach the DirectAdmin control panel on port 2222 without whitelisting port 2222 because it seems the Firewalld service wasn’t running!
service firewalld status Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status firewalld.service ● firewalld.service - firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/firewalld.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) Docs: man:firewalld(1)
So have to manually start CentOS 7’s Firewalld service which then will block port 2222 access until you run the above firewall-cmd command to whitelist port 2222
service firewalld start
Checking Firewalld
firewall-cmd --state running
Listing current open public ports before whitelisting port 2222 returns empty for this command as no ports are whitelisted as yet.
firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-ports
Whitelist port 2222 in Firewalld and then recheck public whitelisted ports
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=2222/tcp success firewall-cmd --reload firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-ports 2222/tcp
Do the same for whitelisting SSH and common service ports. I also added 9418 for Git usage and FTP passive port range 35000-35999. Would be nice if DirectAdmin did this by default for its known installed services so out-of-the-box DirectAdmin installations would be protected behind Firewalld initially.

MariaDB 5.5 MySQL server is installed by default it seems according to mysqladmin ver command
mysqladmin --defaults-extra-file=/usr/local/directadmin/conf/my.cnf ver
If you find having to pass –defaults-extra-file path tedious, setup a custom command alias in your ~/.bashrc file

Check Apache httpd.conf default includes files that are available or commented out/disabled

Looks like the /etc/httpd/conf/extra/directadmin-vhosts.conf file contains the DirectAdmin added domain site’s Apache vhost configurations in /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/admin/httpd.conf include file
cat conf/extra/directadmin-vhosts.conf Include /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/admin/httpd.conf
Within /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/admin/httpd.conf are the domain site’s Apache vhost configurations it seems. Example in Gist posted here.

Check PHP command line version – looks like Zend Opcache isn’t installed by default which will result in PHP performance is much lower!
php -v PHP 7.3.7 (cli) (built: Jul 17 2019 18:33:55) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.3.7, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies
Check if DirectAdmin PHP 7.3 supports Argon2 password hashing algorithm and libsodium – looks like libsodium is supported but missing Argon2 password hashing support. FYI, PHP web apps like Xenforo 2. x support newer Argon2 password hashing algorithms if your PHP version supports it.
php -r 'print_r(get_defined_constants());' | grep -i argon [SODIUM_CRYPTO_PWHASH_ALG_ARGON2I13] => 1 [SODIUM_CRYPTO_PWHASH_ALG_ARGON2ID13] => 2 [SODIUM_CRYPTO_PWHASH_STRPREFIX] => $argon2id$
Usually for PHP 7.3 on my Centmin Mod LEMP 123.09beta01 stack installs I add Argon2 + libsodium support and you should see the following:
php -r 'print_r(get_defined_constants());' | grep -i argon [PASSWORD_ARGON2I] => 2 [PASSWORD_ARGON2ID] => 3 [PASSWORD_ARGON2_DEFAULT_MEMORY_COST] => 1024 [PASSWORD_ARGON2_DEFAULT_TIME_COST] => 2 [PASSWORD_ARGON2_DEFAULT_THREADS] => 2 [SODIUM_CRYPTO_PWHASH_ALG_ARGON2I13] => 1 [SODIUM_CRYPTO_PWHASH_ALG_ARGON2ID13] => 2 [SODIUM_CRYPTO_PWHASH_STRPREFIX] => $argon2id$
For Argon2 you need newer 1.5+ version of libzip for PHP 7 to compile Argon2. On DirectAdmin PHP 7.3 seems libzip is older 1.1.2 version
php --ri zip zip Zip => enabled Zip version => 1.15.4 Libzip version => 1.1.2
And looks like DirectAdmin default PHP 7.3 configuration is compiled with –without-libzip

On Centmin Mod PHP 7.3 builds I deliberately use a newer libzip 1.5 version instead of CentOS 7 provided libzip 1.1.2 for this reason. Example from Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 with PHP 7.3.7
php --ri zip zip Zip => enabled Zip version => 1.15.4 Libzip headers version => 1.5.0 Libzip library version => 1.5.0

Step 4. Post-Install DirectAdmin Tasks
Hide DirectAdmin Apache Version header by editing /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-default.conf and to customise Apache default MPM Worker settings edit /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-mpm.conf.
Current Apache defaults show ServerSignature is already set to Off (disabled) but ServerTokens should be changed from Major to Prod.
egrep '^ServerTokens|^ServerSignature' /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-default.conf ServerTokens Major ServerSignature Off
Change via sed replacement
sed -i 's|^ServerTokens .*|ServerTokens Prod|' /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-default.conf sed -i 's|^ServerSignature .*|ServerSignature Off|' /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-default.conf
Verify the changes
egrep '^ServerTokens|^ServerSignature' /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-default.conf ServerTokens Prod ServerSignature Off
Then ensure these changes don’t get overwritten by DirectAdmin
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/ mkdir -p custom/ap2/conf/extra/ cp -p /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-default.conf /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/ap2/conf/extra/ cp -p /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-mpm.conf /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/ap2/conf/extra/
Then test the modified Apache config files
httpd -t Syntax OK
Then restart the Apache service
service httpd restart
Then do a curl header check to ensure the DirectAdmin Apache server only reports Server = Apache without any version identifiers.
curl -I localhost HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2019 14:01:18 GMT Server: Apache Upgrade: h2,h2c Connection: Upgrade Last-Modified: Tue, 23 Jul 2019 13:32:29 GMT ETag: "2c-58e593965e689" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 44 Vary: User-Agent Content-Type: text/html
Hide DirectAdmin HTTP Daemon Header for port 2222 non-logged-in visitors as per instructions here.
By default HTTP header response for requests over DirectAdmin port 2222 return the full DirectAdmin version number and the full name of the person the DirectAdmin license belongs to:
Server: DirectAdmin Daemon v1.57.5 Registered to FULL NAME - FULL NAME - DirectAdmin License
However, you can disable the more verbose version by setting show_info_in_header=0 in /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf
echo 'show_info_in_header=0' >> /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf service directadmin restart
Then HTTP Header would return a less verbose version
Server: DirectAdmin Daemon
DirectAdmin Apache server-status configuration
Setup Apache server-status and server-info configured for the server hostname you setup in Step 1 above via modifying Apache Include file /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-info.conf – making sure to change YOUR_ISP_IP_ADDR to your ISP IP address or IP address you want to be able to view /server-status and /server-info statistics from and enable ExtendedStatus.
myisp_ip=YOUR_ISP_IP_ADDR sed -i "s|Require host .*|Require host $(hostname -f)|g" /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-info.conf sed -i "s|Require ip .*|Require ip 127\n Require ip $myisp_ip|g" /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-info.conf sed -i 's|^#ExtendedStatus On|ExtendedStatus On|' /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-info.conf
Modified contents of /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-info.conf
#
# Get information about the requests being processed by the server
# and the configuration of the server.
#
# Required modules: mod_authz_core, mod_authz_host,
# mod_info (for the server-info handler),
# mod_status (for the server-status handler)
#
# Allow server status reports generated by mod_status,
# with the URL of http://servername/server-status
# Change the ".example.com" to match your domain to enable.
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Require host hostname.yourdomain.com
Require ip 127
Require ip YOUR_ISP_IP_ADDR
</Location>
#
# ExtendedStatus controls whether Apache will generate "full" status
# information (ExtendedStatus On) or just basic information (ExtendedStatus
# Off) when the "server-status" handler is called. The default is Off.
#
ExtendedStatus On
#
# Allow remote server configuration reports, with the URL of
# http://servername/server-info (requires that mod_info.c be loaded).
# Change the ".example.com" to match your domain to enable.
#
<Location /server-info>
SetHandler server-info
Require host hostname.yourdomain.com
Require ip 127
Require ip YOUR_ISP_IP_ADDR
</Location>
Then restart the Apache service
service httpd restart
Then accessing hostname.yourdomain.com/server-status or hostname.yourdomain.com/server-info from the specified YOUR_ISP_IP_ADDR IP address will allow you to see DirectAdmin’s Apache server status and server info pages.
For hostname.yourdomain.com/server-status
For hostname.yourdomain.com/server-info
Setup nightly updates notification cronjob as outlined here.
Defaults in /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/options.conf
#Cronjob Settings cron=no cron_frequency=weekly email=email@domain.com notifications=yes da_autoupdate=no updates=no webapps_updates=yes
Change to below replacing email with your desired email address for notifications
#Cronjob Settings cron=yes cron_frequency=weekly email=email@domain.com notifications=yes da_autoupdate=yes updates=no webapps_updates=yes
Then type:
./build cron Cronjob is set for MYEMAILADDRESS: Cronjob frequency: weekly Automatic notifications: yes Automatic updates: no
Actual cronjob at /etc/cron.weekly/custombuild
#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update >/dev/null 2>&1
AVAIL_UPDATES="`./build versions_nobold | grep -c -e 'update is available.'`"
if [ "${AVAIL_UPDATES}" -gt 0 ]; then
./build versions_nobold | grep 'update is available.' | mail -s "${AVAIL_UPDATES} updates available for `hostname`" MYEMAILADDRESS
./build update_da
./build update_webapps
fi
exit 0;
Then when you get email notification alerts for updates, run
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild ./build update_versions
Optionally if you need to create alias redirects i.e. create a /mydir alias which redirects users to /var/www/html/directory as per instructions here
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild mkdir -p custom mkdir -p /var/www/html/mydirectory echo "mydir=mydirectory" >> custom/webapps.list ./build rewrite_confs
Disable /~username access
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild ./build set userdir_access no ./build rewrite_confs

If using EXT4 filesystem add use_xfs_quota=0 in /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf. Check if the setting already is populated via grep
grep 'use_xfs_quota' /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf use_xfs_quota=0
Looks like DirectAdmin install process already setup this variable for us. If it returned empty, then you’d need to add this via the command below.
echo 'use_xfs_quota=0' >> /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf
The BuyVM.net KVM VPS server I am using has EXT4 filesystem in place so this modification is needed

in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

Enabling pigz multi-threaded gzip compression as outlined here if you have 2 or more CPU threads. There is no point in enabling pigz support if you only have 1 CPU thread.
You can use the below command to find out how many CPU threads you have for your server
grep -c "processor" /proc/cpuinfo
Then if the resulting output is a number 2 or more, you can enable pigz support in DirectAdmin
getcpus=$(grep -c "processor" /proc/cpuinfo) sed -i "s|^pigz=.*|pigz=$getcpus|" /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf
Then run CustomBuild 2.0 to install pigz
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild ./build update ./build pigz
Install and configure Linux Malware Detect (Maldet) on DirectAdmin as outlined here but first install ClamAV so that Maldet can use ClamAV’s scanning engine which allows you to speed up Maldet scans dramatically. Without the ClamAV engine, Maldet scans will be very slow in comparison.
Install ClamAV using CustomBuild 2.0 with Exim ClamAV support,
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild ./build update ./build set clamav yes ./build set clamav_exim yes ./build set exim yes ./build set eximconf yes ./build set eximconf_release 4.5 ./build clamav ./build exim ./build exim_conf
