Comments: 0 Most probably you have forgotten to delete the user from the recycle bin. Only after you have deleted the user from the recycle bin are you able to create a new user with that user name.

I created a user in ISPConfig 2 but I cannot see him on the system.

Comments: 0 Please check that you did not mix up customers and users. A customer can login to the ISPConfig 2 and manage his sites (and create system users on the tab User & Email) but he cannot login to the system (e.g. by using FTP, email) because he is not a system user. A customer is an object that exists only in the ISPConfig 2, but not on the system. A system user cannot login to the ISPConfig 2, but he can use services such as email, etc.

Comments: 0 Never edit the vhost file manually. On the next update of the system your changes will be overwritten! Instead put your additional vhost configuration in the Apache Directives field in the ISPConfig Interface.If you want to add something manually to other files, e.g Postfix' local-host-names, you can put your configuration at the end of the file in a section that is not overwritten by ISPConfig.
