Hmm, login details do not seem to be correct. Please try again | DirectAdmin

Problems

  • I can’t login to DirectAdmin. The login page just refreshes without any errors.
  • Hmm, login details do not seem to be correct. Please try again.

Causes & Solutions

  • IP is changing. You may have rotating internet IP. To resolve that, you can disable the IP check so that your rotating IP is allowed.
  • You may use wrong password. Try resetting the password via ssh as root: 
    passwd username
  • System clock or client clock might be out of sync.

Warning: The system load average is …..

Probable causes of high load:

  1. Load from real users. More users are visiting website and have bigger server load. This may be due to
    • Advertising
    • Sales
    • Miscellaneous
  2. Load from malicious traffic. Should be stopped.
    • Brute-force attacks to login page of websites, such as wp-login.php, /administrator/index.php, /xmlrpc.php, etc
    • Spam bots posting comments to forum, board, forms etc
    • Other malicious activities

Identifying the sources of high load

  1. Check Apache’s server-status page.
  2. Check MySQL: SHOW PROCESSLIST. shows which threads are running.
  3. Check Server logs. For NGINX /var/log/nginx/ , for Apache /var/log/httpd/ , also check domains/ folder.
  4. Check PHP-FPM status page.

Possible solutions

  • Enable Brute-Force monitor
  • Optimize PHP-FPM, MySQL, Apache/Nginx
  • Protect/limit access to login pages
  • Enable reCaptcha, etc.
  • Add your site to CloudFlare
