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

• cd /usr/local/directadmin
• wget -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
• service directadmin restart

Where 123 and 1234 are your Client ID and License ID, respectively.

Note:
If you are running FreeBSD, you might need to add a \ before the ? character in the wget line. If there are errors extracting the update.tar.gz file, then run:

• head -n 1 update.tar.gz
