Updating DirectAdmin Manually

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

cd /usr/local/directadmin
wget --no-check-certificate -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
/etc/init.d/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, and use /usr/local/etc/rc.d/directadmin restart.  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 sales@directadmin.com to get your license activated or updated.
