Run the following command from SSH as root:

grep "(domain)" /var/cpanel/users/*

NOTE: replace (domain) with the domain name you are trying to add above!

This should reveal to you which user already has the domain in question
parked on their account as the filenames in /var/cpanel/users are
the login names for the accounts.

Go into the control panel for that user and try to remove the parked / addon domain

If for some reason the domain does not appear in Cpanel for that user,
you can manually remove the domain ...

1. Edit the file returned from the grep command above and remove the
"DNS=(domain)" line from the file

2. Edit /etc/localdomains and /etc/trueuserdomains and remove (domain) from
those files if it exists in there as well

3. Change to /var/named folder and see if "(domain).db" file exists.
If so, delete the file and edit /etc/named.conf and remove the
section pertaining to (domain) and restart your DNS server.

NOTE: Reminder you should replace (domain) with the domain you are
trying to add in all the instructions above.

You should now be able to add the domain to whatever account you wish
as a new account, new parked domain, or new addon domain.

I have done all this, even before viewing this forum. I still receive the same error.

Is there any where else the information may be stored?

WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.9.0-R10737
CentOS 4.4 x86_64 - WHM X v3.1.0

Here's something that nobody's mentionned.

If you've got a DNS cluster setup, make sure you disable the DNS cluster. Even if you take all the steps above, the DNS query to the Masters might cause a problem. I just ran into this and that was the last step I took which fixed it.

Hope this helps!

Worked perfect for me!!! The domain name was even pointing to a different domain on my server. Thanks so much

I have checked the cpanel users file, removed the entry from there, no entries in the DNS files, but still getting the same error.

Error from park wrapper: domain owned by another user.

I have checked the cpanel users file, removed the entry from there, no entries in the DNS files, but still getting the same error.

Run /scripts/updateuserdomains for your changes to the cpanel users file to take effect.

[jeffrulz007]

I did /scripts/updateuserdomains but that also didn't help.

I can see the domains zone file when I take edit DNS zone in whm, but it is not there in 'delete dns zone' . There are no entries in the named.conf also no zone file in the /var/named directory.

Is there any other files I need to check ?

This worked great for me, thank you

I have the same problem; not able to remove a domain which is pointing to a subdomain. And the domain does not show up in cpanel.

Trying the description in this thread, when I try to run /scripts/updateuserdomains
I got this message:

root@xyzname [/var/cpanel/users]# . /scripts/updateuserdomains
-bash: BEGIN: command not found
-bash: /scripts/updateuserdomains: line 15: syntax error near unexpected token `{'
-bash: /scripts/updateuserdomains: line 15: ` if ( @ARGV && $ARGV[0] && $ARGV[0] !~ m/^--/ && -e $ARGV[0] ) {'
root@xyzname [/var/cpanel/users]#

root@xyzname [/var/cpanel/users]# . /scripts/updateuserdomains
-bash: BEGIN: command not found
-bash: /scripts/updateuserdomains: line 15: syntax error near unexpected token `{'
-bash: /scripts/updateuserdomains: line 15: ` if ( @ARGV && $ARGV[0] && $ARGV[0] !~ m/^--/ && -e $ARGV[0] ) {'
root@xyzname [/var/cpanel/users]#

This:

root@xyzname [/var/cpanel/users]# . /scripts/updateuserdomains

should be this:

root@xyzname [/var/cpanel/users]# /scripts/updateuserdomains

Thank you, JPetersen!
Typical me; sh <almost_everything>...
Perfect! Then I was able to park the domain again, problem solved!

Thanks again, JPetersen, Spiral and all others!
