Removing an user with previous versions of PMSS was a manual task. Both methods are described here. In both methods remember to remove DNS entries if you are not using wildcard records.
Terminate script
/scripts/terminateUser.php USERNAME
Confirm deletion, and script will remove the user, all except lighttpd VHOST configuration (but password has been removed so cannot login even if directory would still exist).
Rebuilding Lighttpd config
Still in beta stage is lighttpd config recreation, but it's easy! :)
/scripts/util/recreateLighttpdConfig.php /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
and excess vhosts are removed :)
Manual user removal
cd /home killall -9 -u USERNAME userdel USERNAME vim /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart htpasswd -D /etc/lighttpd/.htpasswd USERNAME rm -rf USERNAME
When you open lighttpd conf in vim type: /USERNAME[enter] and you will likely end up on first line of user VHOST configuration, then type: d9[arrow down] to delete that section. save & exit by typing: :wq[enter] htpasswd -D line is optional, but recommended.
