Not the same but maybe related to : https://forum.directadmin.com/threads/error-create-user-in-reseller.65846/#post-344592 ?

DA install now prevents someone from creating a new user with a subdomain that is not owned by the same user account of the original domain.

That has always been the case. As far as I remember I always had to set the "Check domain owner for Subdomain creation" to no. Which can be done via the Administrator settings, no directadmin.conf manual change required.

Maybe in a future update to DA, it could outline the error more clearly.

Agreed.

At the bottom, it suggests that as of DA v1.38.0, it is set by default to no,

You misread it. It says:

As of 1.38.0, this feature is enabled by default for new installs: http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1177

so it's not set to no, it's set to 1 by default (which is yes), which you can also see in the referring link.

However, if your previous install was pre-DA 1.38.0 then yes indeed, for you that was an important change you couldn't know.

As for the checkbox, you're welcome.

My use of the word "no" was referring to no you cannot create a subdomain

Well that was very unclear then.

Because it came from this part:

From the link...

https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=925

At the bottom, it suggests that as of DA v1.38.0, it is set by default to no

That last line is referring to what it says in the features you pointed to, not to something I said.
And that is not correct. As of 1.38.0 it's set to enabled it says there, so that is a default to yes or enabled. We both agree on that point.
But I see now you ment "no you cant do it", but that makes it a bit confuse because we talk about settings here in this piece not actions/results.

So maybe now you understand my logic in this, I purely replied on to what you were referring to.

You first used the word "no", so I did in a subsequent response,

Not in that context. In that part I was pointing out the setting in the Administratios settings, which I explained there right after. So that seems unlogic to me if you refer to my "no" there.

Anyway, in the end it's now clear what we both mean.
If you want to have people use subdomains from domains they do not own, one has to deselect the option in the administrator settings.
Or in directadmin.conf change the appropriate setting to 0.

 

[Richard G]

As pointed out, you first used the term "no" without defining what no meant.

That's simply not true. What it meant is stated right before.

set the "Check domain owner for Subdomain creation" to no.

So there.
It's not my fault that you were not aware of that option in the DA administrator settings. But it does here says so and points to the exact meaning of the word no.

If at that time you equated the word "no" to mean "off" (disabled) in Boolean terms,

You should read what it says, not what you think it means. It clearly says "check domain owner for subdomain creation" to no (so set it to off).

Indeed I was not aware this changed since 1.38.x somewhere as default. However I also said in the same line "As far as I remember".

I cleared that part after your answer in the last line of #7. But instead of referring to that post, it's just unlogic to respond to some previous "no" in a different context in post #4. While I responded to the statement you made about the link -you- posted. Which is logic.

So you can talk all you want, the confusion is on your side and I don't discuss this nonsense any further, it's starting to annoy me.

no point in us having a disagreement at all really,

Me neither, but I wrote I you had troubles with my logic, I wrote I had troubles with your and explained what I ment. You keep at it and pointing fingers to me.
Well if you have that opinion, fine, we don't agree, so I hope it stops now. I won't respond anyway anymore because imho it's plain nonsense to discuss about some misunderstanding (in any side) in this way and totally not needed starting with post #8.

 

[Richard G]

Maybe it was a genuine misunderstanding of terms used, to begin with.

If you felt that from post 5 that is surely a misunderstanding. Because #5 has even helped you, and maybe others, to be aware of the fact that it can be done just via the DA GUI.
As for the rudeness... well... pot and kettle. Goodbye.

 

[Richard G]

Please, please, stop now. Enough already!!! I

Well you gave a reply again with an accusement in my direction of being rude while you started being impolite and rude.
Get a life, congrats, you're on my ignore list as first ever.

Edit: editting your post with adding that last line to please be friendly later on after my reply's and changing your username does not make me forget what you really wrote. Only puts things out of perspective, which is indecent on itself.
