I've deleted /home, how do I recreate the directories? [DirectAdmin]

Generally, this isn't the best thing to have happen because all of the data is stored there. You'll need to recreate all of the directory structures, as well as a few files required for DA to run:

1) Create the DA tmp directory so you can log into DA again:

mkdir -p /home/tmp
chmod 1777 /home/tmp

2) Create the /home/username directories and subdirectories:

cd /home
vi make_dirs.sh

Press 'i' to go into "insert mode" then paste the following script (right click)

#!/bin/sh
for i in `ls /usr/local/directadmin/data/users`; do
{
for d in `cat /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/$/domains.list`; do
{
  mkdir -p /home/$/domains/$/public_html/cgi-bin
  mkdir -p /home/$/domains/$/private_html
  mkdir -p /home/$/domains/$/public_ftp
  mkdir -p /home/$/domains/$/stats
  mkdir -p /home/$/domains/$/logs
};
done;
mkdir -p /home/$/backups

chown -R $i:$i /home/$
chmod -R 755 /home/$
};
done;
exit 0;

Press "ctrl-c" to exit "insert mode", then press "shift-Z" twice to save and exit. Once the file is saved, type:

chmod 755 make_dirs.sh
./make_dirs.sh
