SuexecUserGroup, bad user name

Hans_Meiser

New Pleskian
Hello,

I have manually removed a user from the Ubuntu OS. The user isn't present in the Plesk-UI too.
On my Vhosts SuexecUserGroup is still set to this non existent user. So the apache can't restart...

Apache message:
bad user name xxx
Action 'configtest' failed.

Are there corresponding UI-fields in Plesk or can I edit any Plesk-Db-Table to fix this?
How is SuexecUserGroup set by Plesk?

Thx, Hans Meiser
 
This issue can be resolved by following the instructions posted in this KB - http://kb.odin.com/en/119552
Thank you for your response.
Actually I don't want to reintroduce the deleted user. This also could be done on OS shell.
Would SuexecUserGroup change if I change the username in db-table sys_users?
Could I change the Domainowner from within Plesk-Panel?
Or do I have to create a complete new Domain entry under the new user name?

By the way. It seems a bit inconsistent. Right now I have my new user name in Plesk Panel but not in db-table sys_users, while my old user name resists there, but isn't present in the Panel.
 
Indeed, I removed via UI in Plesk domain and user, so no OS user, nor DB user is anymore in the system, I checked it in mysql too, but still error occurs.
Solution was to remove file:

/etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/vhosts/TLD.conf

where the missing user was still mentioned (Suexec). So it should be still a bug in the removing procedure, as long as the Apache vhost conf-file for the removed TLD remains there.

119552 should also be updated
