Hello i guess it has to do with changing the username. I used
cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./change_username.sh olduser newuser

change the username now apache will not start, i had change admin to maadmin and getting this error

Starting httpd: AH00544: httpd: bad group name admin

please help. thanks
 
Code:
echo "action=rewrite&value=httpd" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
 
Code:
echo "action=rewrite&value=httpd" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
Still the same.
Bad group name. It has something to do with changing the username. thanks any another idea.
 
Thanks, i guess there is some but in the script
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=193

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./change_username.sh olduser newuser

Admin's should check it again, i used it yesterday to change admin to maadmin. And that created all the problems, admin account still exists and i can login with that to directadmin. it probably change it at few places but i one place it did change was in /etc/group. So i changed the username "maadmin" that i had updated back to "admin" and http started.

Thanks "chatwizrd" for your input, really appreciate that.
