second domains under an account cannot make mailboxes or forwarders

[soulshepard]

Dear all,

I have the following: (from an admin point of view, under an reseller account and with the latest upated DA on freebsd)

- When i create two domains under one user account (created under a reseller)
Then i cannot create mailboxes or forwarders under the second domain.

i see under the mailboxes menu and forwarders menu

"Cannot open the user alias file for reading"

when i try to create one i get the following error

"Unable to write to the alias file. Let your administrator know that /etc/virtual/(seconddnsnameofuser)/aliases is unwritable."

now when i look into /etc/virtual/ i see the directories are missing and are also not in the /etc/virtual/domains and or /etc/virtual/domainowners

now i think i can manage to create all by hand.. BUT i guess this should not be the case no?

in other words why is the second domain name not added.? i tried to look for reference in the error logs but did not find any so far.

any help is highly appriciated.

with kind regards,

Soul

Many of our accounts have multiple domains, and they have their own email addresses.

Is this something just started happening on a system where it worked before?

Anyone else having this problem?

Perhaps you should contact DirectAdmin support.

dear jlasman,

now you mention it. my system is fairly new. but before the update i did had account with multiple domains and they do not have the problem.

i guess its either because they are created under an reseller. and the domains are add later by the user itself and not by the admin..

food for tought and test

i'll contact support also..

thanks for your reply

dear all i did have contact with support, and after testing i was unable to reacreate the problem with new accounts made form admin or resellers.

this really is strange i ended up creating a modified version of the rebuild /etc/virtual script on http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=66

it is kinda quick and dirty, but purhaps its usefull to someone
in a sense you can verify your da /etc/virtual with files that should be there or not.
for me this helped a lot. still its strange why a lot of these file were not created.

(i did made this on freebsd i am aware of the == and = difference in the if statements in bash and sh not sure purhaps someone can test)

and i would not advise to use the -fixitnowsureyes if the default output does not make any sense

the syntax: sh checkdauser.sh [username|-all] [-fixitnowsureyes]

it does not print any output if all files are valid and ok.

the script has commented out the option of creating the quota and majordomo
on some test installations i did not use these options so these files were also not created for all users. uncomment to check these too.

there are two config parameters in the script

DAPATH="/usr/local/directadmin"
DAVIRT="/etc/virtual"

logical i assume

here it goes.
