xml api2 delete addon domain help.

[sirdopes]

I am trying to delete an addon domain but I am getting

<cpanelresult>
<apiversion>2</apiversion>
<data>
<reason>Error from park wrapper: Sorry, you do not control the domain
</reason>
<result>0</result>
</data>
<func>deladdondomain</func>
<module>AddonDomain</module>
</cpanelresult>


This is the call that I am doing.

http://127.0.0.1:2086/xml-api/cpanel?user=$owner&xmlin=&xmlin=<cpanelaction><module>AddonDomain</module><func>deladdondomain</func><args>$addomain</args>$subdomain<args></args></cpanelaction>

I am using the access hash for root to authenticate. Is this an easier way to do this?

I am calling it from a perl script.

Could you please open a ticket on this at tickets.cpanel.net/submit

please title this ticket: ATTN matt (cannot remove addondomain via API)

I will also need access to your server along with information on how to reproduce the issue (how to run your script, etc)

Can you just provide an example of how the call is supposed to work?

The following is the cpanel error log.

This code is working for me. I hope it will solve your problem.

$request = "/frontend/x3/addon/dodeldomain.html?domain=$domain&subdomain=$subdomain";
        
               
                     $sock = @fsockopen($this->host,2082);
             if(!$sock)
             {
                        return false;
             }

             $authstr = "$this->user:$this->pass";
             $pass = base64_encode($authstr);
             $in = "GET $request\r\n";
             $in .= "HTTP/1.0\r\n";
             $in .= "Host:$this->host\r\n";
             $in .= "Authorization: Basic $pass\r\n";
             $in .= "\r\n";
             //process
             fputs($sock, $in);
             while (!feof($sock)) {
            $result .= fgets ($sock, 1028);
             }
             fclose( $sock );

Noticed this here with no real answer. I just ran into issues with deladdondomain myself, using the xmlapi.php wrapper.

I can easily do something like:

$result= $xmlapi->api2_query(CPANEL_XMLAPI_USER, 'AddonDomain', 'addaddondomain',
		array("newdomain" => "somedomain.com",
			"subdomain" => "somedomain",
			"dir" => $dir,
			"pass" => $pass));

$listresult = $xmlapi->listaddondomains(CPANEL_XMLAPI_USER);

...and it will add the domain and display it in the list of domains. But if I then try the following:

$result = $xmlapi->api2_query(CPANEL_XMLAPI_USER, 'AddonDomain', 'deladdondomain',
		array("domain" => "somedomain.com",
			"subdomain" => "somedomain"));

...it will fail with an error: "Error from park wrapper: Sorry, I do not believe you control the subdomain for somedomain.com."

After fiddling around with this, particularly looking at the links which are being generated by the addon control panel, I figured it out. Apparently the API treats the subdomain parameter differently between the addaddondomain call and the deladdondomain call.

For the deladdondomain call, what it wants in subdomain is NOT the subdomain, but instead the user name plus main domain name which the addaddondomain command added to your account. This is what is returned as the "domainkey" field in the listaddondomains results. So the following code:

$result = $xmlapi->api2_query(CPANEL_XMLAPI_USER, 'AddonDomain', 'deladdondomain',
		array("domain" => "somedomain.com",
			"subdomain" => "somedomain_maindomain.com"));

...is what's needed to actually work, at least going through the PHP API. I'm not sure why this is the case, it contradicts the docs, so it's either a bug, or incorrect documentation. (As a sanity check to make sure I wasn't misinterpreting the docs, I tried changing the addaddondomain call to use the "somedomain_maindomain.com" format, and it didn't like that.)

Having solved the issue, I wanted to post it here so others who are having trouble can find the solution.

FYI, I've been doing this on CPanel 11.25 running on a shared hostgator account.
