Keeping Directadmin updated is very important. Bug fixes and security patches are released regularly for both the Directadmin software itself and also the packages that are installed by Directadmin. Fortunately it is very easy to update using the custombuild tools already installed on your directadmin server. Follow these steps to update:
- SSH into your server
- Change directory to /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
- Type: “./build update” to fetch a list of the available updates
- Type “./build versions” to see a list of the available new updates with details on the versions you have of each package and the version available
- Type “./build update_versions” to perform the update
