Webmin died during domain setup

Submitted by isdahlc on Fri, 02/24/2012 - 14:44 Pro Licensee

I was in the process of adding a new domain to VM when webmin on that server died in the middle. I beleive it completed the setup process but the new domain does not show up in VM, when I tried to re-add the domain it said that domain already existed.

Can you point me in the right direction to fix this?

Thanks!

The domain is setup in /home, the main user is listed in /etc/passwd but it doesn't show on a domain list list from either the web interface or command line "list-domians" command.

You may have to manually delete the domain's user from /etc/passwd , /etc/shadow and /etc/group , delete the home directory, remove the Apache and BIND config, and delete any MySQL database created for the domain.

I did that but now it throws and error when trying to create the website - it creates the mail users and other things just fine. I deleted and recreated through VM a couple time, same error.

Tried a completely different test domain and receive the same error.

There are 6 webmin and 1 usermin updates that need to be applied to this server, if I apply those will that fix the issue?

This could be due to corruption in your Apache config file. Take a look at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and make sure it doesn't contain an incompleted Virtualhost block.

Yes, I was missing a directive - Thanks!

So after fixing that, were you able to create the domain OK?

Yes, after fixing the missing tag I was able to create the domian.
