The domain X may not be created by X because X is already owned by another user

Hi,

I've the same error for all of my reseller's accounts...



I have absolutely not changed the settings a long time.
And it's only with the reseller's domain...

Any idea ?

Hello

Is this domain name associated with the hostname of the server? Is "Allow resellers to create accounts with subdomains of the server’s hostname" enabled under the "Domains" tab in "WHM >> Tweak Settings"?

Thank you.

Hello !

Is this domain name associated with the hostname of the server?

No, reseller's domain is not the same as server's hostname.

Is "Allow resellers to create accounts with subdomains of the server’s hostname" enabled under the "Domains" tab in "WHM >> Tweak Settings"?

No but if I turn on this option, it doesn't solved my problem. And I don't want that resellers are available to use server's hostname, only their own domain.

Thank you.

Try searching for one of the domain names you can not create in the /var/cpanel/users directory to see if it's already added to an account. EX:

grep $domain /var/cpanel/users/*

Also, search for the domain name in /etc/named.conf to see if a DNS zone already exists for this domain name.

Thank you.

No trace of the domain name.

Exactly the same thing with other reseller accounts.
Each time, resellers can not create an account with a subdomain of its primary domain.

But, all resellers are under one "master" reseller.
And with this one, I can create users with reseller's domain.

Thank you !

Could you elaborate on this? cPanel does not include a master reseller system by default. Are you using a third-party application, or simply assigning "root" privileges to an existing reseller account?

Thank you.

 

[ougogo]

Yes, I simply assigning "root" privileges to an existing reseller account.

Thank you.

Hi,

We are facing the same issue. Our resellers cannot create accounts with subdomains. Everything was working fine before the upgrade to WHM 54.0 (build 8).

Thank you.

 

[ougogo]

Thanks Vision !

I was about to think that I was crazy !
cPanel support let me think that this function does not exist and that it never existed.

So how to solve this problem?

 

[cPanelMichael]

I'm unable to reproduce the issue on cPanel version 54.0.12. Here are the steps I took:

1. Created a reseller account with test123.tld with "root" privileges.
2. Accessed WHM as the reseller.
3. Created a new account with subdomain.test123.tld when "test123.tld" is owned by the "root" account.

The following option is enabled in "WHM >> Tweak Settings" under the "Domains" tab:

Allow WHM users to create subdomains across accounts

Could you let me know which steps I need to change in order to reproduce the issue?

Thank you.

Hello,

I just tried this again. The only difference is that the reseller owns his account. So the "test123.tld" is owned by the reseller's account and not by root.

I've tested with ownership values configured as the reseller username, and as "root", but am unable to reproduce the issue. Are you sure cPanel version 54.0.12 is installed on this system? If so, could you verify how you are logging in as the reseller or creating accounts?

Thank you.

Both servers are on Cpanel version 54.0.8 (Release Tier).
"Allow cPanel users to create subdomains across accounts" and
"Allow WHM users to create subdomains across accounts" are both off .
I am logging in as the reseller and try to create the new account.

 

[cPanelMichael]

Both servers are on Cpanel version 54.0.8 (Release Tier).

Could you temporarily switch to the "Current" build tier to see if the issue persists in cPanel version 54.0.12?

Thank you.

I upgraded to Cpanel 54.0.12 and the issue persists. I tried to add/remove privileges from the reseller but nothing works. Only if i choose to enable for the reseller "Root access - All features" the account is created.

I just noticed this issue today. It is a showstopper for our business and requires immediate attention. I believe my server was pending an update to cPanel a few days ago and is now at 54.0 build 8. I am set for auto-updating and I'm on the 'RELEASE' tier. I cannot create a new account under my reseller account that worked fine just a few days ago. I am running on CentOS 7. Is this a known issue and if so, when will it be corrected?

FYI: Like a previous user mentioned, if I give the reseller "root" privileges, the account is created properly.
