Troubleshooting

if you run into ssl or ssh errors try this:

e.g. I ran into ... " undefined reference to `EVP_CIPHER_CTX_block_size' " after upgrading SSL with latest version... so i had to downgrade before upgrading php to 5.2.7

after this, i re-ran custombuild 1.2 and everything worked.

Also had to recompile eaccelerator after upgrading php ....

also, if you upgrade to mysql 5.1 directadmin will still need a missing library file

error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.15: cannot open shared object file

If you're running a DA server, recently updated mysql to version 5.1, you'll still need your old libmysqlclient.so files from mysql 5.0.

This would be the error you're seeing:

[root@server directadmin]# service directadmin restart
Stopping DirectAdmin: [FAILED]
Starting DirectAdmin: /usr/local/directadmin/directadmin: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [FAILED]
To resolve the issue, simply grab the old libmysqlclient.so.15 file from our server.

Example, for CentOS 5 - 64-bit, run:

wget -O /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.15 http://files.directadmin.com/services/es_5.0_64/libmysqlclient.so.15
chmod 755 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.15
ldconfig

On non-64-bit systems, the file would go into /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15
