  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Issue "User account already exists" while user doesn't really exists

velocidad

New Pleskian
I'm using plesk 12.5.30 update#48 on ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS and when trying to add new domain Igot an error telling me that the user account already exists.

It's true that I've created this user and after that delete it (from users panel on plesk), also delete the email associated(this was not deleted when deleted the user account, don't know why) to this account, but as I've root ssh access to this server I just check it and the user is still on /etc/passwd. That's why I'm getting the error.

Is this normal behavior of plesk? Is there a way to solve it?
 
Maybe there is some kind of database inconsistency. I would suggest you check and fix it with

# plesk repair db

command.
 
# plesk repair db

Checking the Plesk database using the native database server tools .. [OK]

Checking the structure of the Plesk database ........................ [OK]

Checking the consistency of the Plesk database ...................... [OK]

Error messages: 0; Warnings: 0; Errors resolved: 0


Just want to point that the user was not created with the users menu but when creating a subdomain, after deleting the subdomain, the user remains in /etc/passwd
