Installing Directadmin custombuild plugin

We will be asked if we want to install Custombuild while installing DirectAdmin. If the unmanaged VPS arrived with it already installed, DirectAdmin is most certainly installed.

The panel or the CLI can be used for installation. Both strategies are thoroughly detailed here.

1. Firstly, from the DirectAdmin panel log in as the admin account and navigate to the Plugin Manager to install the plugin.
2. Click the ‘Add’ button and enter the following URL:

3. After entering the password and confirming that ‘Install after upload’ is selected, click Install.

How to upgrade to CustomBuild 2.0

We propose that if we are still using previous versions of Custombuild, we update to Custombuild 2.0. We’ll go through how to update a CustomBuild 1.1 or 1.2 installation to a 2.0 version.

1. Execute the following commands:

   cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build version

   Determine the version of Custombuild you are running before upgrading DirectAdmin for Custombuild 2.0. We do not need to upgrade if we are currently on 2.0, which is included in all recent DirectAdmin installs.
2. If we’re using an older version of the program, follow the pre-installation instructions on this page.
3. Type the following to upgrade to CustomBuild2 with all of the default options:

   

   This will generate a default options.conf file, which we may maintain if we so want.

   Skip to the following step if we wish to use all of the default parameters. If not, now is the time to modify the options.conf file with any text editor.

   When we’re finished, execute the following command:

   ./build all d
./build rewrite_confs
