    Default Cannot Delete User

    Hey guys,

    I have a reseller user account installed on my WHM/Dedicated Server. However, there is no domain attached to the account and I can't delete it.

    How can I delete this account, and reinstall the client a new one.

    "Terminate an account, List Accounts" It doesn't show up.


    Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

    Run /scripts/updateuserdomains and see if it shows any errors related with that account and if yes, paste the error message here so that we could take a look into it

    see if you have a virtual host entry in httpd.conf and
    remove that.

    Also delete the user from this location
    /var/cpanel/users/account_name

    Then run this in ssh
    /scripts/updateuserdomains

    See if that fixes things.

    Also look in the /home directory and delete the account files
    if they exist.

    I also like to check /etc/valiases /etc/vdomainaliases

    Default STILL Cannot Delete User

    Seriously...
    How do you delete an account that has no domain name attached to it?
    I can only see it by going to the Resellers Center and it is in the list of accounts there...
    I feel like I am going insane.

    Sorry guys, Didn't see you all had the same error.

    You mainly have to delete anything affiliated with the account.

    This is what I did...

    I first ran this command - /scripts/updateuserdomains - This gave me what errors had to be fixed.

    Then I went to /var/cpanel/users/ and deleted the account file.

    Check if there is anything related to the account name at these two files.

    /etc/valiases and /etc/vdomainaliases - Anyhing related to the account anme must be deleted.

    From there edit your httpd.conf and also delete anything related to the account.

    I hope this helps, I am not checking these forums on a regular bases however, email me at dalip@jaggient.net and I can help you.

    I also apologize for a delayed response.

    You could also try adding a domain to that account and see if it then works.

    You should be able to remove it from the commandline with:

    Code:
    /scripts/killacct username y
    where username is the username of the account you want to delete.

    Default /etc/passwd

    should remove user password configurations from
    /etc/passwd
