Help getting to Add a new Addon domain via PHP

[alexmichaelis]

Hello,

I want to allow my users to define an addon domain for their websites using a form. I have a VPS server with Cpanel, WHM and I am trying to create a PHP script that will just create this new addon domain in a seamless way to the user. So I am using CURL to authenticate and call the following URL (this is just an example):

https://localhost:2083/xml-api/cpane...addaddondomain &cpanel_xmlapi_version=2&dir=<my_dir_editted_for_security>&newdomain=test.com&subdomain=alex.test.com

However, I always get the same response: "Sorry, a main domain was not specified".

Can someone please help me?

Thank you!
Alex

Hi Alex,

I tried the following URL and it worked for me:

https://10.1.1.1:2083/xml-api/cpanel?cpanel_xmlapi_version=2&cpanel_xmlapi_module=AddonDomain&cpanel_xmlapi_func=addaddondomain&newdomain=alex.net&subdomain=alex.dave.com&dir=alex

Are you authenticating your call as the user? (in my case it's "dave", how owns "dave.com"; in your case it would be the user who owns "alex.com"). If you authenticating as 'root', then you should use port 2087 and also provide the URL parameter "cpanel_xmlapi_user=$cpuser".

Also, if you're coding in PHP, you might consider using the PHP XML-API client class or the PublicAPI client class
