Move User Domain(s)

[Lucid13]

Hello, new user playing around with DA for the first time. Created some users, domains, email, dbs, etc. I wanted to move a domain from one user to another so I tried:

http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=58

Worked well for me, except didn't move my database from olduser to newuser. No biggie, but thought I'd mention it for any improvements to the script. I am on fedora core 8.

It's a known limitation. The problem is that the database is named based on the user, so DirectAdmin isn't sure what you want; you probably have to do a database backup and then restore it to the new database created for the new user.

And the scripts that refer to that database will have to be edited to refer to the new database.

If you use the move domain tool and don't touch the database and do not edit the scripts then everything will still function on the web site that uses that database. But the new user will not be able to manage the database from the control panel. However phpmyadmin will still work.
