Knowledge is Yours - Nguyen Si Nhan: directadmin

This is the list of directadmin.conf values, as of November 16, 2009.
The format of this document will be the name and default value.
Note that if the value does not exist in the directadmin.conf, it will be the default intenal value within DirectAdmin.
Adding a value to the directadmin.conf would override the internal default.
You can always see what values are being used on your system by typing:

/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin c

For any newer values, or values not listed here, you can always search the versions system for them.

Variables with default values which are (null) should not be added to the directadmin.conf unless you plan on using them.
If you want to remove that variable, then completely remove it from the directadmin.conf.

After every page load of DA, the counter resets to 0.

maxfilesize=10485760

The maximum size, in bytes, that a POST can be. This is mainly used for file uploads but applies to all POSTs.
Do not set this value to a very small number, as it would block normal POSTs as well (User creation, etc), if it's too small.

log_rotate_size=5

Depreciated value for apache log size before rotation. Logs are rotated each tally because webalizer requires a closed log before processing.

logs_to_keep=5

Number of apache logs to store for Users in /home/user/domains/domain.com/logs

logdir=/var/log/directadmin

Log directory used by DirectAdmin.

logger=/usr/local/directadmin/logger

Depreciated. "logger" was the program used to split up log entries into different logs, used by apache in realtime.. which bogged down the system with thousands of logger programs (for each VH) hence it was dropped.

Path for admin data related to the serverpath. You're not likely going to want to change this.

http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=15

ssl_cipher=(null)

cipher for DA over ssl forcing which ssl protocol to use.
The (null) default value can only exist if the ssl_cipher value is not in the directadmin.conf, which means that if do not want any ssl ciphers, you must completely remove the ssl_cipher value from your directadmin.conf, or else an empty string of ciphers will be used which wouldn't work.

The caroot is for the ca root certificate used to prevent the ssl popup on your purchased ssl certificates.
