Common DirectAdmin Problems We Fix
Our engineers have resolved these issues thousands of times. We fix them fast — usually within the hour.
CustomBuild 2 Compilation Errors
Fix failed builds caused by missing dependencies, incompatible PHP versions, or corrupted CustomBuild configurations. We rebuild and test.
DirectAdmin Email Not Sending / Spam Issues
Full SPF, DKIM, DMARC audit and fix. Exim queue clearance. Blacklist removal from Spamhaus, Barracuda, and Microsoft SNDS.
High Server Load on DirectAdmin Server
Identify which reseller, user, or process is consuming resources. Fix misbehaving PHP scripts, slow MySQL queries, or Exim storms.
DirectAdmin Services Not Starting After Reboot
Fix startup failures for Apache, Exim, MySQL, and named after a server restart. Automate service recovery with proper runlevel configuration.
PHP Version Selector Not Working
Fix DirectAdmin's PHP Switcher when per-user PHP changes don't take effect — usually caused by PHP-FPM pool misconfiguration or CustomBuild issues.
Disk Space Full on DirectAdmin Server
Identify disk consumers (mail logs, Exim queues, user files), clean safely, implement quotas, and set up log rotation.
DirectAdmin SSL Auto-Renewal Failing
Fix Let's Encrypt failures in DirectAdmin caused by DNS issues, CAA records, port 80 blocks, or rate limiting.

Emergency CSF/BFM configuration, IP blocking, fail2ban integration, and SSH hardening to stop brute-force attacks on login services.
