There is a typo in /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/startips which breaks the script:
The script defines:
DIRECTADMIN_BIN=/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin
but uses:
ADDIP=`${DABIN} c | grep -m1 '^addip=' | cut -d= -f2`Which results in errors:
./startips: line 36: c: command not found
./startips: line 62: 2a01:7c8:xxx:xx:xx:xx:0:1: command not found
./startips: line 62: 37.xxx.xxx.115: command not found
and missing IPs on a network interface.
As a consequence NGINX might fail to start, dropping an error:
bind() to [2a01:7c8:xxx:xx:xx:xx:0:1]:80 failed (99: Cannot assign requested address)

It is a patch for /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/startips as a temporary solution, until DirectAdmin developers fix it on their side.
As an additional solution you might set:
net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind = 1
net.ipv6.ip_nonlocal_bind = 1
with the sysctl tool.
