When im trying add domain i see warninng domain Already Exists. Domain: selserv.eu.

I read that: https://docs.directadmin.com/direct...ns-users-resellers.html#domain-already-exists.
It dosen't help.

I haven't configuration for this domain in this directories (i searched for phrase selserv.eu):
/etc
/var
/usr

Code:
root@sasuke:/# cd /etc/
root@sasuke:/etc# ack selserv.eu
aliases
43:[email protected]: root: [email protected]

root@sasuke:/etc# cd /var/
root@sasuke:/var# ack selserv.eu
[nothing]

root@sasuke:/var# cd /usr/
root@sasuke:/var# ack selserv.eu
[nothing]

root@sasuke:/usr# ack selserv.eu
local/directadmin/conf/setup.txt
3:[email protected]
4:hostname=server.selserv.eu
6:ns1=ns1.server.selserv.eu
7:ns2=ns2.server.selserv.eu

What is wrong with DA? I can add other domains but not this. Any ideas what can i do more?

selserv.eu is resolving so the domain is there I assume.
I see also you are using it in your hostname: server.selserv.eu

I had i once , then i reinstalled it and started with adding the main domain as user admin first, after that i created the hostname with that domain
Maybe that helps

Domain is registered but not delegated. I can't delegate domain into server which has not configured domain.
Hostname it's not the problem. I changed them and is the same.

Anyone know what DA check before add domain? Domain dosen't exist in system but him say so exist. What the ...
 
Fun fact is that i can create DNS zone with that domain name but i can't add domain from user level. Where should i looking for solution.
Really OS resinstallation is only way?

Check all users including admin (user level) if the domain does not exist if you have not done so already.

Maybe you can also install mlocate and after installation run updatedb and after that run this command:
locate selserve
or send in a ticket.

I don't think reinstallation is the only way, there must be some other way. Maybe it's in some user.conf or somewhere else. Sometimes rebooting the server can help too.
 
I'm facing the same issue.

I deleted everything about the domain name, and "locate domainname.com" returned no data.
Restart the services (directadmin, bind, litespeed), also reboot the server and nothing.
