Released: 2024-09-??

Server TLS upload page evolution new

A page for uploading server TLS certificate has been introduced to Evolution. It can be accessed from admin level -> Server Manager -> Server TLS Certificate -> Change Certificate.

Detect old local libcurl custombuild improved

CustomBuild will detect if an old version of libcurl is installed in the /usr/local directory when listing software available for removal.

It can be removed with the da build remove_old_local libcurl command. And restored back with the da build restore_old_local libcurl command.

Having an old version of locally built libcurl can cause PHP compile problems if it is linked to one of the removed local libraries.

syslogd option to use split priority for each log type. improved

Previously, when the optional use_syslogd=1 was used, all 4 logs were sent to syslogd as type err. This change splits the 4 directadmin.conf log types as follows:

  • errorlog=/var/log/directadmin/error.log and errortaskq.log will remain as LOG_ERR
  • systemlog=/var/log/directadmin/system.log will now be LOG_NOTICE
  • securitylog=/var/log/directadmin/security.log will now be LOG_CRIT
  • loginlog=/var/log/directadmin/login.log will now be LOG_INFO

DNS Providers GUI for Enhanced improved

Users, Resellers, and Admins can now access the DNS Providers feature for their domains, using the Enhanced skin (Evolution TBD) For all account types, the tool can be accessed from: User Level » SSL Certificates » Manage ACME DNS Providers

  • Users - Can select from the list of dns providers for their domain, or if set by the higher account, inherit a provider from them.
  • Resellers - Can setup the creator type of dns provider, to be used by their Users.
  • Admins - Can setup the global type of dns provider, which can be used by any User.

The creator and global types can include Domain Restrictions, where they can have a domains_allow or domains_deny list, to control which domains should be allowed or denied from using these inhertibale dns providers. This feature does not affect the acme_server_certopen in new window set of directadmin.conf options, which would only be for the hostname.

System skin deprecation removed

In future releases, the login page will always use the Evolution skin. Admins with non-Evolution system skins will get notified about this change.

Removed userdir_access from custombuild options removed custombuild

Userdir access feature is removed from custombuild.

If userdir_access is enabled, CustomBuild will refuse to perform any software reconfiguration action.

Language override in headers new improved

Added with the use of APIs in mind, this feature will allow an extra header to be passed, allowing the caller to override the User's current language, using the one passed.

X-Language-Override: en

This should make the results more unified, as they'll use the desired language. Note that newer calls using the restful /api method return mainly just data, not sentences, so this won't have any effect on them.

This change also fixes a bug with regards to temporary languages set in the session.

Removed http_methods CustomBuild option custombuild removed

The CustomBuild option http_methods used for restricting HTTP methods is no longer supported.

Removed support for suphp and ruid2 webserver integration modes removed

The main directadmin service will no longer be aware of suphp mode. The follwing webserver template tokens will always be set to 0:

  • SUPHP
  • HAVE_PHP1_SUPHP
  • HAVE_PHP2_SUPHP
  • HAVE_RUID2
  • RUID2_AND_MOD_SECURITY
  • MODSEC_AUDIT_DIR token will be set to not supported

CustomBuild does not support suphp and ruid2 modes since version 1.647.

If custom webserver templates are being used please make sure they are not referecing the deprecated template tokens.
