If you need to update your copy of DirectAdmin manually, you can do so by running the following commands:

cd /usr/local/directadmin
wget -O update.tar.gz https://www.directadmin.com/cgi-bin/daupdate?uid=123\&lid=1234
tar xvzf update.tar.gz
./directadmin p
cd scripts
./update.sh
service directadmin restart

Where 123 and 1234 are your Client ID and License ID, respectively. Note that if you are running FreeBSD, you might need to add a \ before the ? character in the wget line. If there are errrors extracting the update.tar.gz file, then run:

head -n 1 update.tar.gz

to search for an error. If there is an readble error inside the file, then you'll need to contact [email protected] to get your license activated or updated.
