I have scheduled backups that run via Virtualmin every night. I noticed a while back, I stated getting “Some domains was missing information”. I started noticing later on that some of my domains had been changed into a string of numbers instead of a .com (about half of them)…
I have been trying to figure out a way to fix this… If I try to create a new server with same domain name, it says it already exists. If I try to rename one for the servers with a domain name, change the directory, admin user and so on, I get the directory/user/etc already exists. How can I fix this??
So for one of my sites, I decided to try and stab at it manually. I deleted the CentOS account, and renamed the folder, deleting the dns entries. Man have I had problems. I finally got most all of it working, but the FastCGI is not working. If I change it to mod_php everything works fine. but switching back to FastCGI, i get a 500 error every time. I am scared to try this method with my other websites. Is there just a config file I can go in and change and correct it?
After spending an entire day on it, I decided to build up a new server and just transfer it all over. When I went to transfer it, I found the Add Server -> Import Feature. I simply imported my servers that was already on there and it magically did the rest… Man I love Virtualmin (minus the fact that this was a weird issue I had to spend all day on)! But, now I cant delete the messed up ones… When trying to delete the ones that are messed up, I get this:
Ahh I see. There are 5 of them out of about 10 domains total. For some reason, 5 of my domains lost their relationship with the virtualmin ID then. Is it possible to simply delete those files and it will make all that go away? After importing servers, I was able to make the domains come back as it should, but the old domain IDs is still showing, which is causing my backups to throw an error.
I looked at those files, and I can tell something is for sure wrong. The file size of the broken ones are about 700 bytes, where the good ones are 1k-2.7k bytes. Definitely a big difference between the good ones and the bad ones.
