Change Reseller

[BWS]

Hi,

I recently bought my own dedicated, and copied several accounts from my old server (where I was a reseller) using WHM's copy function.

However this has meant that the accounts that I copied over have retained my reseller username as their reseller when I list the accounts (and obviously on the new server I'm not a reseller) is there any way of changing this?

Not to worry - Found it...

Edit the users file in /var/cpanel/users

You can also change account ownership in WHM under account functions.

Using change ownership wouldn't work, as it listed me as the owner, but my old username as the reseller!

Just an FYI ::

I had to change ownership on a lot of domains.
There is no internal script for that, but i made a quick perl script that would do the job, just sharing it for others

#!/usr/bin/perl

$domains{'domain_name.com'} = 'username';
# Other domains
# Come here

for (keys %domains) {
my $user = $domains{$_};
if (! -e "/var/cpanel/users/$user") { print "Domain $_ has changed usernames [$!]"; exit }

open (R, "/var/cpanel/users/$user" ) || die "how ? $a{$_} [$!] ";
open (W, ">temp.txt") || die "Error cant open temp file [$!]";
while (<R>) {
chomp;
if (/OWNER=root/ ) { print W "OWNER=owner_user_name\n"; } else { print W "$_\n"; }
}
close (R);
close (W);
print `mv temp.txt /var/cpanel/users/$user`;
# rename ("temp.txt", "/var/cpanel/users/$user" ) || die "Error rename $user [$!]";
}

For some reason the rename didnt work for me , mv did though,,

Cheers

Hi,

I'm interested in this "change ownership for multiple accounts" script but I don't know how to use it. Can you give me a hint or something?

Thanks,

I.
