Just a quick tip again. This time about how you can add additional request methods like PUT, DELETE etc. to your Apache / DirectAdmin configuration.

I couldn’t find the answer easily so thought I’d share it. I did this on a VPS with CentOS 7 and Directadmin 1.53.

Once you are logged in on your server, to edit your http configuration file run this command:

```
nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-directories.conf

```

Add the needed methods to the AllowMethods bit inside <Directory /home>.

After you have made the changes, be sure to restart your VPS.
