Greetings all

While creating a user, my internet connection got disrupted.
I try creating the user again...but DA says that the user already exists.
And yet this user does not appear in the list at CMD_USER_SHOW

Can anyone advise please?
 
Just wanted to add that after

1) removing home/username
2) removing the line with username in /etc/passwd
3) removing /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/username

I also needed to

4) remove this line

Include /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/username/httpd.conf

in

/etc/httpd/conf/extra/directadmin-vhosts.conf

or else Apache will have some trouble restarting :)

Check to see if the user is actually there in ssh. Check /home/username and grep -i username /etc/passwd as well as /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/username

maybe i'm bumping an old thread.

just wanted to let know, that after a massive migration (400accounts), we had 10 accounts, that for some reason didn't migrate, and steps 1 to 3 were needed to re-migrate them.

For sure you are bumping even an ancient thread. Please don't do that anymore, it's 11 years alrady. Most procedures might already changed by this time also. If there is no question, no need to bump.
If it's maybe 1 or 2 years, oke, but please don't up ancient stuff afterwards to just give a comment.

even to confirm for people who will find this thread (as i did) trough google, that a solution 11 years old, still works on 2023?

are you a mod or something?

my comment is totally useful, letting people that after 11 years, the solution is the same.

Right, even to confirm, there is no need to confirm, they will see for themselves if it's needed after so many years or ask if it's still usefull.
Upping ancient threads on forums is an unwritten rule that it's not done, hence why a lot of forums close older threads.

I'm not a mod but do a lot of helping here, and upping ancient threads is not helping, because your comment did not add anything else then just some confirmation to something which is already known. And it's drawing unnecessary attention of people who are trying to help others, because there is no question either.

However, I can't forbid you, and I nicely asked you to not up ancient threads anymore.

it was not worth replying to your comment, so a lol at you was enough.

i'll vote for you for mod, when positions are available, but please stop offtopic of this hepful thread. thank you, only warning for you of doing this comments off-topic, if you want to ask me something directly you can DM me :)
