PHP-FPM fails to start after removing virtual server

[aresxc]

After removing a virtual server that uses PHP-FPM and Nginx, PHP-FPM fails to start. This is due to website pool not begin deleted after using Virtualmin > Disable and Delete > Delete Virtual Server.

[08-Jun-2023 03:36:58] ERROR: [pool 1680217373282286] cannot get uid for user 'example.com' [08-Jun-2023 03:36:58] ERROR: FPM initialization failed

LEMP installation.
Ubuntu 22.04.2
Webmin 2.021
Virtualmin 7.7
PHP 8.1 (kinetic)

Hello,

I didn't see this issue happening with Nginx. Nevertheless, we recently addressed it in a more general way, to make sure the PHP-FPM pool file is always removed.

Although, it's not clear exactly what's causing it. Do you have steps to reproduce this issue?

[aresxc]

Yes, I did it 3 times, with 3 Virtualmin installs, the 4 time I tried it didn't work.

Installation:
./virtualmin-install.sh --bundle LEMP --minimal

1. Create Virtual Server: example.com (Top-level server, default settings)
2. Create Virtual Server: test.example.com (Alias of example.com, default settings)
3. example.com > Disable and Delete > Disable Virtual Server > Also disable sub-servers? Yes
4. example.com > Disable and Delete > Delete Virtual Server > Yes, Delete It

The progress log didn't show anything wrong, it's shown later when restarting PHP-FPM manually, creating a Virtual Server or rebooting the system.

Edit:
In steps 3 and 4 wait a few minutes or hours.
