Hello,

Do you have a user in Directadmin panel with such a name?

 

[tincboy]

No I don't have any

 

[zEitEr]

But directadmin thinks you do... What do you when you run this:

ls -1 /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/ | grep ^php$ -c

?

# grep ^php= /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/show_all_users.cache -c

?

 

[tincboy]

Here it's the output

# ls -1 /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/ | grep ^php$ -c
1
# grep ^php= /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/show_all_users.cache -c
0

So, it seems you've got:

/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/php/

What is in there?

ls -la /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/php/

you might need to delete it.

 

[tincboy]

it's a php.ini file with this content.

[PHP]
open_basedir = /home//:/tmp:/var/tmp:/usr/local/lib/php/

I guess it has been created by my own bash script which was responsible for fixing open_basedir of all my accounts.

 

[zEitEr]

Yes, I guess no username was passed to the script, that is why it was created in /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/

So you can safely remove /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/php/
