cpanel account with subdomain sorry page

[marcelo falcao]

I created a new cpanel account on my WHM with a subdomain but when I access it appears: SORRY! If you are the owner of this website, please contact your hosting provider:

Strange thing is that yesterday (17/08) I created another cpanel account with subdomain and it worked, it actually works since 2016, but it stopped working today.

Attached are the two accounts, one works and the other doesn't.

ps: since 2016 I never needed to make any changes to the DNS Zone of the accounts I created, it always worked perfect.

Hey there! When you get the default "Sorry" page this is almost always an issue with DNS. This indicates there is a mismatch between the IP the domain (or subdomain, in your case) is using in DNS, and the IP address configured for the domain in Apache, which causes Apache to not know what content to serve.

Can you check and see if that is the case for this subdomain?

You mean there was some change to httpd.conf then? I don't understand much but it may have a different ip in apache's httpd.conf? Where specifically? Thank you for your help

I'm not saying there was a change necessarily, but if the DNS doesn't match the IP in Apache that would be an issue.

If you have access to WHM you can just check the List Accounts page to see what IP is assigned to that domain, so there's no need to check the Apache configuration directly.

I found the problem, the account's virtual host is not being registered in httpd.conf but it was always recorded, now it is not being registered anymore. How to get around this?

I would recommend running the following commands to back up the current configuration, attempt a rebuild, and restart the Apache service:

cp /etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf{,.bak-`date +%Y%m%d`}
/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
/scripts/restartsrv_httpd

Can you try that and see if that gets the vhost added back into the configuration?
