*** As of April, 9 it should be fixed in CustomBuild script of Directadmin in 1850 revision ***

What happens?

For those who uses Nginx+Apache, here is a quick fix of another possible bug. The bug introduced since Apache 2.4.33. Apache fails to read IPs from the file, as per instruction:

RemoteIPInternalProxyList /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/ip.list

How to fix it?

Install a script to fix it:

cd ~
wget -O nginx-apache-fix-ips.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/poralix/directadmin-utils/master/apache/nginx-apache-fix-ips.sh
chmod 755 nginx-apache-fix-ips.sh
./nginx-apache-fix-ips.sh

that's a temporary fix, and I hope directadmin developers will apply a permanent fix. All the changes will be lost after you run:

./build rewrite_confs

If it happens unwanted, run the script again:

cd ~
./nginx-apache-fix-ips.sh
