error creating account on WHM

tnycman
I just installed the WHM on a new server and I keep getting the same error over and over, basically when I try to create the account it gets stuck on Adding User "forever", and I wont be able to show the complete error because of that.. I did tried suggestion from other posts with no luck Any thoughts ?

    Hello, "/usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log" is the path to the log file as opposed to a command. You can review the last few lines and see new lines added to this file with a command such as:
    tail -f /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log
    Let this command run when creating an account via WHM, and post the output here in CODE tags. Ensure you remove any real domain names and IP addresses. Thank you.

    Hello, Do you notice any error messages when running the "/scripts/fixquotas" command? Also, please review the following thread to verify if it's the same issue you are facing: Quota Errors on Attempt to Modify Account after 58 Upgrade Thank you.

    Issue resolved by support- thank you!!! It appears you had a /dev/root symlinked to /dev/sda1 which doesn't exist, I removed this symlinked and created a new one to /dev/sda instead; unlink /dev/sda1 ln -s /dev/sda /dev/root /scripts/initquotas
