I was getting this error on my openvpn server : read UDPv4 [EHOSTUNREACH]: No route to host (code=113)
it seemed to be a network problem , but after a lot of work I found out it is because the time and date of the client side was out dated !
if you are having the same problem please read this post : http://www.adminsehow.com/2009/06/how-to-synchronize-linux-time-daily/
DirectAdmin guide only asks you to download their setup script and run it , but it doesn’t explain about requires packages before installation , so before installation run the following commands :
yum update yum install perl gcc gcc-c++ make tar gzip bzip2 diffutils dbus quota
locate and updatedb commands are the best commands to search and find files in Linux. if you dont have them installed on your Linux , use the following commands :
Debian :
apt-get install locate
CentOS :
yum install mlocate
In order to integrate WHMCS 4.x with Jrox Affiliate Management (JAM) system , create a file named jam.php in whmcs/includes/hooks with following content :

if (!empty($_COOKIE['jrox'])){
$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tblorders WHERE invoiceid = '".$vars."' LIMIT 1");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$JAMIntegrate = file_get_contents("http://www.domain.com/affiliates/sale.php?amount=".$row['amount']."&trans_id=".$vars."&custom_mid=".$_COOKIE['jrox']);
}
}
add_hook("InvoicePaid",0,"actionhook_InvoicePaid","");
?>
Make sure to point www.domain.com/affiliates to your JAM installation URL.
