Hi all
I recently acquired a .com domain to match a .net I already had. The .net has been set up on my RPS (running OVHm) for a couple of years, and everything is fine.
But when I tried to setup the .com, I get this error when restarting services:
(I've changed the domain name to 'domainna')
The problem seems to be with the fact that the two domains have the same first 8 characters. So the .net version took the username 'domainna', and it tries to create 'domainnaU' for the second one, but that doesn't work (I presume the username can't be more than 8 chars).
Is there a workaround for this? Ideally it should be clever enough to change the username when it detects what will ordinarily be a duplicate username...
Any help would be much appreciated
