In this article I will explain how to update DirectAdmin and DirectAdmin Custombuild via SSH (command line). To start with, you need to have ROOT access to your server, and the server also needs to have at least 10GB of storage space left. Finally, make sure that you have also made a recent backup.
Update operating system
Updating your DirectAdmin installation is also the perfect time to update your OS.
yum -y check-update
To install the updates:
yum -y update
Update DirectAdmin
DirectAdmin itself is updated with the following command:
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/getDA.sh current
You can also replace ‘currrent‘ with alpha, beta, or stable here – the stable is always a version below the current.
Updating custombuild
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild ./build update
After this, install the latest directadmin update with the following command
./build update_versions
Don’t have to worry about your DirectAdmin servers and always have them up2dated?
