Reinstall - Can't Add Domains

    Greetings,

    I recently (today) accidentally deleted my ISPConfig database. I believed a reinstall would fix it and rebuild the DB. ISPConfig did reinstall with the DB, but now only html in /var/www/html will serve to the web.

    When I try to add domains I get this error:

    Domain-
    "The name www.xxxxxxxxx.com is already in use by another site or domain."

    Is it possible I have residuals left over from the previous ISPConfig install?

    Any help solving this issue is greatly appreciated

    Thanks,

    Simulacra

    Is there an SQL dump or your previous database in /tmp?

    Falko,

    Thanks for the quick reply. I do not know if there was a SQL dump, but there are three files in /tmp that look important. They are the home_admisconfigxxx.tar.gz, root_ispconfigxxx.tar.gz, and existing_db_xxxxx.sql. The .sql file is less than 1k and contains only a few rows of instruction, so I don't think that's a good dump. The root_ispconfig.tar.gz looks like the old backup from my previous install. Any suggestions on what to do with those?

    Thanks,

    Simulacra

    existing_db_xxxxx.sql is the important file, but since a lot of data is missing in there you can't use it to restore your database...
