Domain Already Exists message while domain creation in Directadmin

If we try to create a domain via Directadmin control panel, "Domain Already Exists" message will appear if the domain is already on the system even-though the domain is not present in Directadmin.

The issue is mainly because the there will be an existng DNS zone entry for that domain. The way that DirectAdmin checks to see if the domain is already on the system is by looking in the named.conf file.

If you are positive that domain has not been added anywhere in DirectAdmin (use "Show All Accounts" in the Admin Panel), then it should be safe to remove the zone from the named.conf file either manually, or by removing the zone from Admin Panel -> DNS Admin.  Then you should be able to add the domain.

Cheers..  ;)
