It can't create the _private directory (related to Frontpage) because you've run out of disk space. Get results from the above command and paste it here.

Thanks for the command. Here's what I get on an account that says it is using 65 mb:

8.0k /home/nb/etc
20k /home/nb/mail
8.0k /home/nb/public_ftp
1.2M /home/nb/public_html
876k /home/nb/tmp
0 /home/nb/www

Here are the results for tlp's server when the above command is run.
4.0K /home/wwwwhat/mail
8.0K /home/wwwwhat/public_ftp
20K /home/wwwwhat/public_html
0 /home/wwwwhat/www

Any Ideas folks...

This is nuts..
I create an account and it already is in the Negitive.

you could run find / -user username -type f -exec du -hs {} \; (as root from a ssh shell prompt)

to run du -hs on any files anywhere in the system which are owned by username

Alternatively you could run repquota -a|grep username (or w/o the grep to get description for the various fields depending on how your system is partioned you will get a entry for partition/drive (.e.g /etc /usr /var etc) quota is enabled on

have a look @ http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?threadid=9605 as well if you have not already done so

TLP,

Did you ever get an absolute solution on this problem? I'm having a similar problem that effects about 20 users.

I did the search for UID, nothing strange found.
Turned quoatas off, on then ran fixquota, still no luck.

In the words of tlp, "This is nuts"!

Hard to set up accounts using WHM-AP whe the account is -857 meg to start.

I ended up creating a dummy account using the 62.18 megs, that worked, then I du -h -s and showed the account was using 3k?

Any chance of getting this corrected Cpanel techs? It sucks paying so much money for this software and having bugs like this in it.
