Dmacleo Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 first, having moved from whm/cpanel to directadmin I fail to see why this costs more than cpanel...but its free to me with my package so I will deal with it. to run sphinx neatly (from default install if var/sphinx) I need to run the crons as root, on centos 6.2 crontab -e is just blank and when I try to add the crons to it I get format errors. other server (centos 6.2 with cpanel install) worked fine like that. cannot see why directadmin would affect crontab -e, cannot find any definitive info, so I am hesitant to mess with it w/o some advice. thanks.

Gary. Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Have you tried looking in the main directive:vi /etc/cron.d/directadmin_cron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmacleo Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 yeah but I saw threads saying doing it there caused issues so I was hesitant to do it w/o seeing if anyone else here had. I was able to make crontab -e open with nano and was able to make it work....then I found out I had drives configured wrong about 20 min after I got it all set up LOL reloading now.

Grumpy Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 first, having moved from whm/cpanel to directadmin I fail to see why this costs more than cpanel... I've been asking the same question for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmacleo Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 just ability to set ttl on any dns changes alone makes cpanel worth more to me, then stuff like csf explorer addons, etc..but DA free from host so I will learn it LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
