Cannot create that domain

Hi,

I'm new to DirectAdmin, some user experience but now also as admin! =)

First I created a user with a headdomain example.com (this is my domain for this thread). After I added a other domain, after I did a backup restore from a backup (from an other server) and that went well to.

After I look in the email box I saw that the emails of my main account are not restored because that was my head email. I decided to remove my example.com domain. I logged in as the user and deleted the example.com, I only get a message the the folder is not empty, so I removed the manually.

Now I want to create a new user, when i do that I get the next message:

Cannot create that domain
That is the hostname which is reserved. Either change the hostname, or use a different domain

I looked in the /etc/named.conf and there was no node for example.com I searched a bit on the internet but could not find any solutions.

Could anybody help me here?


Regards Mitch

- the httpd.conf has no example.com (does have a other domain but thats correct)
- in the domains.list also no example.com
- in de domains map no example.com

Dont know where to look now..

The hostname of your server should not be your any domain name. It should be subdomain of whatever domain you want. Example something like : server.hostname.com

You can change the hostname with:
