Adding Users

Hi

installed DA on freebad5.4 with no problems, set up dns, and everything seems to be ok, but when icome to add a user for the one domain it gives me message below.

Cannot create user

Details

That domain already exists

This is probably one of the most frequent problems (unless it's happening for all domains you try to add).

Delete the records from the named database and configuration file.

This does happen for other domains i have tried, but i deleted them from the named.com and just tried 1 which again gives me same error.

Do you mean deleted from named.conf? if so them my dns will not work?
 
On Debian the named files are stored in /etc/bind
It should be somethign similar for FreeBSD or /var/

I would cd into that directory.
rm exampledomain.com.db
and remove the zone from named.conf

It very well could be a bug if you are getting this error on every domain you are trying to add with ones you have never had on the server before.

Edit: Don't forget to restart named after you've made the changes.
 
I wanted to add that when you remove zone files you should also remove the references to them from the named.conf file.
