    Hi,
    I have a issue that I cannot seem to understand how to resolve. There are multiple domains hosted on the server and some of them experience this strange behavior. From time to time (I think it is when the httpd rebuild itself) some subdomains on some domains start to load the main domain. When I open, lets say mail.example.com, the page that it is loaded is example.com. When I look at the httpd.conf I see that mail.example.com is listed as an alias for example.com. When I remove it the issue is resolved but I am interested in how to resolve it permanently, because every time the httpd is rebuilt the issue arises again. Every domain is a separate account if it matters.

    Hello,

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    You can manual remove the "mail" entry from the "serveralias" line in the following configuration files under the /var/cpanel/userdata/$username directory:

    /var/cpanel/userdata/$username/$domain.com
    /var/cpanel/userdata/$username/$domain.com_SSL

    Then, remove the .cache files for these domain names:

    /var/cpanel/userdata/$username/$domain.com.cache
    /var/cpanel/userdata/$username/$domain.com_SSL.cache

    Next, rebuild the Apache configuration file:

    Code:
    /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
    However, keep in mind this is part of what allows SSL certificate validation for mail.domain.tld as part of the Domain TLS functionality:

    What is Domain TLS - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation

    Thank you.
