deleting an account

[CTC]

I had an account which i just wanted to delete the DNS zone and recreate it but it deleted the account as well.

It is ok i have a backup,
When i go into list accounts it is not there,

I tried to recreate the account using the same credentials as before however it gave me an error that that userid is already in use, so i changed the username then it gave me an error to change the httpd.conf as an account already is using that domain.

I am unsure how to do this, i have root access to the command line but i dont know where to find that file to delete the entry.

Could a kind user steer me in the right direction.

Many thanks in advance, hope everyone had a safe and Happy New Year celebration.

TTFN CTC.

Problem solved

Hi ppl, problem fixed after teadious reading.

Basically what was required was to goto to SSH and type

/scripts/updateuserdomains

i got this error
user someacct: missing DNS= line in /var/cpanel/users/someacct at /scripts/updateuserdomains line 206

The error is easy to fix

in ssh type the following

nano -w /var/cpanel/users/someotheruser

see how dns= line has his domain name

then open the one you want

nano -w /var/cpanel/users/someacct

and add the dns=withhisdomain.com

Once done run /scripts/updateuserdomains

Refresh Cpanel and goto list accounts an walla it is back.

I will never delete the DNS zone without deleting the account first ever again.

I hope this helps someone as it took a while for me to fix it.
