So I changed the hostname on my WHM installation from "whm" to "server". However, the "whm" 'A' record is still working, even though the SSL is now broken. "server" resolves to a 404 page and I'm not sure what to do?

  • My hostname is correct.
  • The 'A' record in the DNS for the new hostname has been created.
  • Manage Service SSL Certificates shows the new "server".domain.com hostname


Even though "server" resolves to a 404 and the SSL certificates are showing the new hostname. I am still getting a security exception, "server.domain.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed. Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER".

All I wanted to do is change my hostname. What did I do wrong?

So in an attempt to get myself situated, I set the hostname back to the original hostname of "whm". And now it also 404 errors... I'm completely locked out of my WHM... I assume an 'A' record is missing or something. How can I fix this from my terminal?

Edit: So if I go to my IP:2083 it redirects me to "server". However my user and password that once worked no longer work... What the heck did I do! I even reset the password for my user and it's not working....

Edit2: My dumb self was using 2083 and not 2087 this entire time! Don't play with new software when your tired after an 8 hour shift! It appears everything is now working properly, and my "server".domain.com is now working properly with its SSL!
