    Hello everyone,

    I have a few small questions regarding cPanel.

    First off, when I used to purchase hosting, I could always access my mail and cpanel through a subdomain such as:

    http://cpanel.example.com

    and

    http://webmail.example.com

    Now that I have my own server though, I can't figure out how to activate that feature on my client's domains. Any Help?

    ========================

    Also, I was wondering how I can make sure I have disabled automatic updates..

    I finally have the server working great and I don't want a simple update to ruin everything.

    Thanks,
    Raymond

    What you mention seem like customizations to our software. However example.com/cpanel and example.com/webmail should work by default.

    To ensure you have disabled automatic updates, go to WHM -> Server Configuration -> Update Config and set everything to Never and then when you're ready to update, switch to Manual. This will prevent accidental updates from occurring.

    Thank you

    Thank you very much for all your help and sorry for my late reply.

    If it is not too much to ask can you inquire as to which modification that is which creates the subdomains such as cpanel.example.com?

    Thank you again and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. :cool:

    cPanel/WHM natively supports the use of subdomains for the creation of separate cPanel accounts. Note, this would be different than creating an account using a domain then creating a subdomain under that account. Going via WHM ensures the subdomain is on its own account.

    As long as you're not on STABLE, you can go to WHM -> Server Configuration -> Tweak Settings -> Domains and check "Add proxy VirtualHost to httpd.conf to automatically redirect unconfigured cpanel, webmail, webdisk and whm subdomains to the correct port (requires mod_rewrite and mod_proxy)." Then click save at the bottom of the page.

    If you check this and it still doesn't work as intended, ensure you have mod_proxy enabled. You can do this by going to EasyApache (WHM -> Software -> Apache Update) and proceeding to step 5, then clicking on "Exhaustive Options List" and ensuring "Proxy" is checked. If not, check it and proceed with the build process.

    That means you are on our RELEASE branch, not STABLE. We have 4 builds of cPanel at any time: EDGE, CURRENT, RELEASE (the default) and STABLE. Updates propagate from EDGE to CURRENT then to RELEASE and eventually to STABLE.
