Use DirectAdmin User-Agent for HTTP requests update

HTTP requests made by DirectAdmin daemon now report User-Agent: DirectAdmin/1.695 (with correct DirectAdmin version).

Enable secure access group option automatically update

An automatic migration is added to enable the secure access group option and make sure the name of the secure access group is access.

The secure access group option makes web, email, and ftp services be part of the UNIX group access. This option has been enabled by default since DirectAdmin 1.33.3 (released 2009-04-05) for new server installations. However, very old servers might still have this option disabled.

This migration prepares all servers for this option to be mandatory in the upcoming releases.

Note: This migration will also make sure the secure access group name is set to access. On servers where this group had a different name, the group name will be changed to access.

Default PHP Opcache extension configuration will not block API access update

The file custombuild/configure/opcache/opcache.ini is updated to no longer block opcache API access.

‼️ Web server configuration templates always use public_html directory update

The web server configuration templates are updated to always use the public_html as the root directory for each virtual host. Before this release, the private_html directory was used for connections over TLS.

This change makes sure the same files will be served for the same hostname regardless of TLS being used or not.

Affected template files:

  • data/templates/nginx_server_secure.conf
  • data/templates/nginx_server_secure_sub.conf
  • data/templates/openlitespeed_vhost.conf
  • data/templates/virtual_host2_secure.conf
  • data/templates/virtual_host2_secure_sub.conf

Note: This is a breaking change if public_html and private_html directories are not yet merged. Please use the Ensure all domains private document roots link to public maintenance task (Admin level menu entry in Evolution) to check if there are users that can be affected.

Plugin Manger script permissions fix

Cluster: cluster_domainowners: allow master to create subdomain under same User fix

If the hosting master has check_subdomain_owner=1 and the dns slave has check_subdomain_owner_in_cluster_domainowners=1, if User fred has fred.com, the bug was that this User account would not be able to create a new domain called sub.fred.com. This fix uses the existing returned hostname and User values from the slave, such that the master can validate if the current User is allowed to create the current hostname. It would have previuosly returned the incorrect Domain exists on 1.2.3.4 when trying to create a subdomain as a full domain, where the full domain itself exists in the slave's cluster_domainowners file. As before, the slave still returns that the value already exists, because of check_subdomain_owner_in_cluster_domainowners=1 with status exists=3, which refers to the subdomain match for a higher-level domain name, including the hostname and username, during the Cluster's CMD_API_DNS_ADMIN?action=exists&domain=fred.com&check_for_parent_domain=true check. (The fix is in the code on the master side)

Rspamd: mime_whitelist was using 'from' instead of 'from_mime' fix

The per-user rspamd config uses 2 sections for each whitelist and blacklists. One uses the "from" format matches the smtp sender and the "from_mime" matches the mime sender. The whitelist section was using "from" instead of "from_mime".
