Everything owned by root !!!

[wwparrish]

I started playing around (after reading the manual of course ) and made a single customer and a couple of sites with only one site having users. Tested my email etc. etc. OK, I deleted everything and emptied the trash.

I now have made only one customer (which is really just a dummy entry) and one site www.example.net and a couple of users for that site.

The entire directory tree is owned by root !!! Any ideas what in the world have I done and how can I fix it ? I have deleted the site a couple of times and recreated with same results.

Hmm I have messed something up for sure

I am thinking about deleting db_ispcong making sure all test users are removed by using system tools and starting over as I have gotten rid of everything in ispconfig and only need one site with a couple of test users so its very easy/fast to recreate everything. Bad idea ?

Something seems to be wrong when ISPConfig tries to create users and groups. I'm sure this is the reason why all your files are owned by root (I guess ISPConfig tried to chown the files, but because the user didn't exist (because of the failed useradd), the files and directories are now owned by root).

You can run the commands marked in red on the command line to see what errors come up.

what I have discovered (and its my fault for messing aroudn so much I guess) is that removing the two directories (from others posts, cant remember them offhand) and deleting the database db_ispconfig does not clean up sufficiently to do another install. After removing old users from /etc/passwd and the /home/admispconfig/ispconfig /users file things clean up much better. there are apparently are an apache2 and a proftp config file that could use some cleaning too. I might be causing the problem by not using the web[WEBID] prefix.

Where is the uninstall utilty for when the install goes ok ? It probally give a nice cleanup but darn if I can find it again

It's /root/ispconfig/uninstall.
