I want to change default port 2222 when login to Directadmin. Is it possible?

Yes. It is!

Run this to achieve the desired:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/conf/
vi ./directadmin.conf

in the file find the line with

port=2222

change it to something you want, for example

port=9999

save, exit and restart directadmin

killall -9 directadmin
/etc/init.d/directadmin start

Make sure to open port 9999 with firewall and try to access Directamin in a browser.
