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!

I don’t know—I never used directadmin. I figured there would be an option/checkbox that you would check to enable mod_rewrite. <br> <br>Try logging into your droplet as root and running <pre>sudo a2enmod rewrite <br>sudo service httpd restart</pre>
Try enabling the mod_rewrite module through directadmin. If that doesn’t fix it, can you paste your virtualhost config?
