DNS Management errors and blank page... after MY mistake....

[wemanageit]

Trying to setup a domain zone under the DNS Management..... and YES 100% I made a mistake and trying to delete the wrong info, but deleting this out just now gives me a :

BLANK page under USER/DNS Management, and these two REDish popups "Could not execute your request/You do not own that domain" and "Can not view DNS record/Domain Does not belong to you"

There are no DNS zones in ADMIN/DNS Management either.

I just want to delete what ever DA thinks is there to get back to start over, with out reimaging the box..

Thank you in advance.

remove it from /etc/named.conf or where in your system it stored, and from /var/named/

Thanks, but unfotunately there are no zone files in there matching the domain in question

/etc/named.conf

options {
        allow-transfer { none; };
        listen-on port 53 { any; };
        listen-on-v6 port 53 { any; };

I think this is borq'd beyond recovery at this point and reimage it back to base is probably the best case... as what ever setup DA does, seems to be nuked already...

If you know the usernames, you could try to use this script:
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/fix_da_user.sh

Usage: ./fix_da_user.sh <username> <user|reseller|admin> (<domain>)

<username> is required.
<user|reseller|admin> is to specify that this user is a reseller, or an admin.
(<domain>) is an optional 3rd argument to speicfy if there is supposed to be a domain under this account.

Note: the creator in the user.conf will be set to 'admin'. If it should be something else, edit the CREATOR value in this script

OK.. I have reinstalled the system from the VPS providers image, not a backup, not a snapshot, from the base image the VPS provides..

STILL PERSISTS.. can't access the USER/DNS Management page, same errors... and blank page...

Actually put a different image, Ubuntu 22.04, from the VPS on it, and then reimaged from that to the AlmaLinux image.. and STILL PERSISTS!

What is DA reading from where after a reimage??????????? This is ridiculous a reimage should have corrected this! Back to a clean slate... something DA is reading from some place other than the server... which is probably what started this mess....

Any hints here???? Thank you.

As i know DA didn't have official VM images, so better to install clean OS, update all packages, install DA manually.
