Well, i have managed to install directadmin on the droplet. Though there are two apache related problems: url rewrite doesn't work and caching also. I have searched everywhere (read this https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-mod_rewrite) but i just can't get it to work! My .htacces is not the problem: with a dutch hosting provider i have a directadmin vps too and with same .htacces it works there. My droplet is running centos 6.5 x64 I'd be great if someone could point me in the right direction!

Try enabling the mod_rewrite module through directadmin. If that doesn't fix it, can you paste your virtualhost config?

I don't know—I never used directadmin. I figured there would be an option/checkbox that you would check to enable mod_rewrite.

Try logging into your droplet as root and running 
sudo a2enmod rewrite

sudo service httpd restart
