Default website?

[mitt]

Hi All,

I just migrated to a new WHM/Cpanel server.

Now when making a web request using mail.anydomainonmyserver.com they all resolve to 1 account in particular??

The account is just another account in the list of 40 accounts but for some reason all requests made with mail and any other CNAME record resolve to this account.

Anyone know why? On my old server domains like mail.whatever resolved to an empty account or the actual website of the domain in question.

thanks!

Not sure about your old setup, but what happens when you try domain.com/webmail

[mitt]

requesting domain.com/webmail the server returns the webmail page.. Works the way it should...

requesting domain.com/webmail the server returns the webmail page.. Works the way it should...

The URL in the address bar, is it of the same domain as the page you requested or that of this one account you mention as having all the web requests for mail.* redirect to?

It's of the same domain requested (not the "default" one showing for mail.whateverdomain)

Thanks for your help.

Is this correct:

You have domains example.com and example2.com on the new server;
if you enter mail.example.com, you get the website for example.com;
if you enter mail.example2.com, you get the website for example.com

First, take a peek at the DNS zone for example2.com; what does it show for mail. ?

Take a peek at the DNS templates; do they hard-code information that shouldn't be hard-coded?

"You have domains example.com and example2.com on the new server; if you enter mail.example.com, you get the website for example.com; if you enter mail.example2.com, you get the website for example.com"

Yes this is correct.

All zones show the following for mail:

mail 3600 IN CNAME example2.com.


Looks correct.. same as the old server from what i remember..

If i look in the httpd.conf, the first domain listed is the one that comes up (using the above example.com is the first domain)..

Thanks for your help!
