In case your DirectAdmin installations or related software updates download very slowly or frequently lose connections. Then in this article, AZDIGI will guide you to change the DirectAdmin download server with other alternative servers.

I. Overview

By default, when installing DirectAdmin, the download server is always files.directadmin.com at the initial time. And the thing to note here is the server files.directadmin.com located in the US. It will not be possible to give the fastest download speed when you need to install DirectAdmin updates in Vietnam. So how to change the DirectAdmin download server? Please continue reading the article.

II. How to change DirectAdmin download server

To change the DirectAdmin download server we follow the following 2 steps.

Step 1: SSH into your DirectAdmin system

To change the DirectAdmin download server, we first need to SSH or access your VPS/server as root. If you do not know how to SSH into your VPS/Server, you can refer to the following tutorial:

After SSH successfully SSH, we continue with step 2 to start the process of changing the DirectAdmin download server.

Step 2: Execute commands to change DirectAdmin download server

These commands perform relatively simply and fast as follows:

AZDIGI Tutorial
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build set_fastest
./build update
    

Explanation of the above commands:

  • Command 1: Move into custombuild folder.
  • Command 2: Change the DirectAdmin download server to the server for the best speed.
  • Command 3: Update custombuild script.

Below are the images when I manipulate the above commands.

Command 3: Change the DirectAdmin download server to the server for the best speed.

As you can see in the picture above, after checking my VPS, I see the download speed of the serverfile-sg.directadmin.com is the server with the fastest download speed. So my VPS self-regulates downloadserver about this server.

In addition, if your current download server is failing, you can completely change it manually by editing the options.conf file by the following command:

AZDIGI Tutorial
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
vi options.conf
    

You just need to change the download server URL path at the downloadserver: line, then save it.
