Addon domain says already exists when it doesn't

[fog]

I have checked over and over and there is no dns entry for the domain or anything, When I try to add it it says it's in use by another user. How do I resolve this?

 

[Phiber_Optick]

In your WHM, in "Tweak Setting". Do you have a check in "Allow Creation of Parked/Addon Domains that resolve to other servers (ie domain transfers) [This can be a major security problem. If you must have it enabled, be sure to not allow users to park common internet domains.]" or "Allow Creation of Parked/Addon Domains that are not registered"?


If you do not, and this domain is not currently pointing at your cpanel server, then it will not let you. If you check those, then you are able to add domains to cpanel that either are not registered or have their domain pointing to other name servers.

I do have that checked. I just did a locate domain.com from shell and I can see several mentions of the domain althought it isn't in the cpanel of the path it is mentioned in nor does it have a dns zone. How do I clean it out so I can add it.

I am assuming that since this account was moved from another machine using the whm tool some mentions of the domain remained though it was removed before the move.

Did you find a resolution to this?

When users delete a domain in Cpanel it leaves the .db files in the secondary/tertiary nameservers. You have to manually remove these in the nameservers then /scripts/dnstransfer to clear it out.

Does dig show the domain on your servers locally?

Very nice! This is exactly what I have been looking for all day.

Thank you kris!

AND ran Rebuilding Mail Databases and Fixing Permissions from WHM.
