Error creating users

Odix · May 14, 2024, 8:37am

Hello, I have a problem when I try to create a new user on hestiacp, it gives me the following error:

“Error: The user name 'hgfgfdgfgfd' is reserved and cannot be used. List of reserved names:<br>Deprecated: Directive 'allow_url_include' is deprecated in Unknown on line 0”

No matter what user I enter, it gives the same error, in the past I could create users, I don’t know what happened in the meantime.

Hi @Odix

Could you please show the output of this command (execute it as root)?

php -r '$reserved_names=array("aria", "aria_log", "mysql", "mysql_upgrade", "ib", "ib_buffer",
 "ddl", "ddl_recovery", "performance", "sudo"); if(in_array(strtolower($argv[1]), $reserved_names, true)){echo implode(", ", $reserved_names);}' "hgfgfdgfgfd"

It looks like you are on

1.7.x ?

Just replace the function below with the version in the link listed below

is_user_free() {

}

          is_user_free() {
          	# these names may cause issues with MariaDB/MySQL database names and should be reserved:
          	# sudo has been added due to Privilege escalation as sudo group has always sudo permission
          	reserved_names=("aria" "aria_log" "mysql" "mysql_upgrade" "ib" "ib_buffer" "ddl" "ddl_recovery" "performance" "sudo")
          	for value in "${reserved_names[@]}"; do
          		if [ "${user,,}" = "$value" ]; then
          			check_result "$E_INVALID" "The user name '$user' is reserved and cannot be used. List of reserved names: ${reserved_names[*]}"
          			return
          		fi
          	done
          
          	check_sysuser=$(cut -f 1 -d : /etc/passwd | grep "^$user$")
          	if [ -n "$check_sysuser" ] || [ -e "$USER_DATA" ]; then
          		check_result "$E_EXISTS" "user $user exists"
          	fi
          }

php -v

And edit /etc/php/x.x/cli/php.ini and remove allow_url_include should also fix it
