Re: [webmin-l] Error message: username or MySQL name already exist

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Prodos,
It sounds like there was still a MySQL 'db' table entry for the user. You can see these in the MySQL module of Webmin, on the Database Permissions page.

If Virtualmin is creating this when you add a server but not removing them when you delete, that is a bug ..

Good morning.

Last year I created a virtual sever: drupal.prodos.org
(to test out the Drupal CMS program).

Later I deleted that virtual server.

Today I tried creating that same virtual server again,
using the SAME username and database name as before.

But I kept getting an error message, something like:

"Unable to create this virtual server because the same
username or MySQL database name already exists."

(Sorry, I haven't got the exact wording because I then
went ahead and created the site using a different
username and database name and had no problems doing so.)

At the time I was getting the error message I checked my
list of MySQL servers. There was no database name
of the same name as the one being rejected.

Then I checked in "webmin users" and DID find the
username listed. So I deleted it and tried again to create
the virtual server with the same username and database name.

Again I got the same error message!

Can anyone tell me why this error message still
popped up even though there was no MySQL
server of the same name and the username
had been deleted?

Does WEBMIN store these usernames somewhere 
else within its system?

Is there something else I have to delete in order to
be able to use that username again?

It doesn't pose any problem to just choose a different 
username/database name, but I'd like to understand
my WEBMIN better and to make sure I'm deleting
servers correctly.

Thanks for any assistance or tips on this issue!

Best Wishes,

PRODOS
