How to allow users to access to WHM or cPanel without entering the port?

[alphareseller]

Hi,

My current setting for WHM/cPanel will require users to enter port number (2086/2087 or 2082/2083) when the accessing to WHM/cPanel. Is there any way that I can remove the port from the URL (https://whm.mysite.com)?

Thank you very much for your help!!

Did you try with these?
They should work.

mystite.com/cpanel
mysite.com/whm

if I use /cpanel or /whm, it will be redirected back to the URL with port number.

If you have proxy subdomains set in WHM > Tweak Settings, it should work to use whm.domain.com or cpanel.domain.com automatically. Here are the settings:

Proxy subdomains [?]
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)

Proxy subdomain creation [?]
Automatically create cpanel, webmail, webdisk and whm proxy subdomain DNS entries for new accounts. When this is initially enabled it will add appropriate proxy subdomain DNS entries to all existing accounts. (Use /scripts/proxydomains to reconfigure the DNS entries manually)

These simply need to be enabled to "On" in that area, then Tweak Settings saved for those changes.

Yes, I have both settings "on" under Tweak Settings. this is the first place I checked.

Are you receiving a specific error message when attempting to access cPanel or WHM via the proxy subdomains option?

You can check the Apache error log while attempting to access them to find an exact error message:

/usr/local/apache/logs/error_log

Thank you.
