(XID xf7s4p) nobody already controls the domain name.
I had a CPanel account with a subdomain as the main domain (like devel.mydomain.com). I tried to add the main domain in CPanel but it failed because the devel.mydomain.com DNS entries were in a mydomain.com zone file.
After trying a few things I terminated the original CPanel account and tried to create it again. I've checked that it isn't in /var/named or /var/named/cache and I now get this error message:
I have no idea what is causing that (a residual apache config perhaps?).

I also ran the following: /scripts/updateuserdatacache /scripts/updateuserdomains /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf ...and restarted apache but no change. 0 -
Hey there! The issue is most likely in the /var/cpanel/userdata/nobody directory. Do you see any entries there for the domain in question? It could be a unique file, or it could be inside one of the files present there. 0 -

I checked and there are a main and main.cache in there but no reference to the domain that I'm trying to create.0 -
If this was my machine I'd probably strace the cPanel process and find which file is causing the error, but that can get tricky. You could also do a grep for all of /var/cpanel/userdata with "grep -Ri domainname /var/cpanel/userdata/" to see if it's listed in any random files. If that doesn't track it down, feel free to submit a ticket to our team and we can get it taken care of. 0 -
Thanks. I tried that (grep) and no results. I'm not familiar enough with strace to do anything useful there. Time to submit a ticket I think. 0 -
Nice - I'm glad it was something simple! 0
