cannot get rid of account from server




Posted by Outlaw Web Master, 07-08-2007, 01:16 PM
i am trying to transfer an account from one server back onto my server. however it keeps telling me that there is already an account with the same name on my server when trying to copy all the data over. I have deleted the dns entries of the account on my server but the account name still appears in the ip useage etc and it's stopping me from doing a cpanel transfer from the other server to my server. does anyone know how i go about delete all records of the account name on my server....most likely it'll involve a ssh command tried this but still didn't work... /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf << remove the VirtualHost entry for the domain. /etc/named.conf /etc/trueuserdomains /etc/userdomains /var/named/domainname.db << remove this file. /etc/valiases/domainname << remove this file. /var/cpanel/users/username << remove this file. Restarted apache and named service.....still can transfer the account because my server says username exists in the system. thanks owm

Have you checked /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow ?

or you can use this cPanel script itself, /scripts/killacct !
