    • CentOS Version: CentOS 7 64bit
    • Centmin Mod Version Installed: 123.09beta01
    Hi,

    I made a mistake in step 2 (Add Nginx vhost domain) where I set just "domain" instead of "domain.com". Then I created a FTP user.
    When I noticed the problem I run step 2 again and set "domain.com" with same FTP username. The problem is that centmin never asked me to rewrite the old FTP account so I'm unable to upload files to domain.com because the FTP is configured for domain .

    Is there any way to delete the old FTP account and use the same FTP username for the new vhost domain?

    Need to read MORE. All the information is in the FAQ. It's too much information and seems to be much easier to ask.

    Wouldn't be a bad idea to display a warning saying something like "the FTP username you are trying to set was already created".


    Thank you.

    You can always use the search feature on the main site, that usually yields good results. That's what I did.

    Also, when you create the vhost, how to remove the user is in the output information. So, next time just copy all the info when you create a vhost.

    Nginx 1.31.x
    MariaDB 10.x/11.4+/12.3+
    Yup official centminmod.com site + forums have most the info folks need to solve there problems now just a matter of search and reading - How to delete Nginx vhost account for existing domain/subdomain ?

    Each nginx vhost created at the end of output and for logged entry in /root/centminlogs saved as a nginx_addvhost.log timestamped and has the list of commands to fully remove a nginx vhost as outlined at Nginx Vhost & NSD DNS Setup - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS

    You can use command to list all nginx_addvhost logs
    Code (Text):
    find /root/centminlogs -type f -name "*nginx_addvhost*"

    i.e.
    Code (Text):
    find /root/centminlogs -type f -name "*nginx_addvhost*"
/root/centminlogs/centminmod_1.2.3-eva2000.09.004_200317-040926_nginx_addvhost.log


    in centmin mod 123.08stable nginxaddvhost.log and at end of create new nginx vhost site creation you see
    Code (Text):
    Commands to remove newdomain.com

 rm -rf /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.conf
 rm -rf /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.ssl.conf
 rm -rf /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/newdomain.com/newdomain.com.crt
 rm -rf /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/newdomain.com/newdomain.com.key
 rm -rf /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/newdomain.com/newdomain.com.csr
 rm -rf /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com
 service nginx restart

    in centmin mod 123.09beta01 nginxaddvhost.log and at end of create new nginx vhost site creation you see the above + additional command to remove ftp created user
    Code (Text):
    Commands to remove newdomain.com

 pure-pw userdel YOURFTPUSERNAME
 rm -rf /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.conf
 rm -rf /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.ssl.conf
 rm -rf /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/newdomain.com/newdomain.com.crt
 rm -rf /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/newdomain.com/newdomain.com.key
 rm -rf /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/newdomain.com/newdomain.com.csr
 rm -rf /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com
 service nginx restart

    I run
    Code:
    find /root/centminlogs -type f -name "*nginx_addvhost*"
    and found the following file:
    /root/centminlogs/centminmod_1.2.3-eva2000.09.004_270317-014130_nginx_addvhost.log

    However when I open it with nano I get the following:
    Code:
    ^[[1;33;40m---------------------------------------------
^[(B^[[m
^[[1;33;40m---------------------------------------------------------------
^[(B^[[m^[[1;32;40mImportant Information

^[(B^[[m
You are about to create an Nginx vhost site account with/without
HTTPS/SSL support. Details of this process are outlined on site
at centminmod.com/nginx_domain_dns_setup.html. Also read the
continually updated Getting Started Guide for Centmin Mod usage
at centminmod.com/getstarted.html which covers the pure-ftpd
ftp username that is auto generated with the Nginx vhost site.

Do you want to continue with Nginx vhost site creation ? [y/n] n

aborting Nginx vhost setup...
    Where can I see the commands to remove a domain from vhost if I open the file with nano and can't read it?

    I get
    Code:
    Error.
Check that [quieromipeliculahd] already exists,
and that [/etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.passwd.tmp] can be written.
