Missing owner for domain , force lookup to root

[golfanatic]

Dear Admins,

when executing the command '/scripts/buildhttpdconf' via SSH, the following error message appears:

info [buildhttpdconf] Missing owner for domain centos-64-64-cpanel.localdomain, force lookup to root
Built /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf OK

Do I need to change anything, or is that a neglectable error message?
FYI: Cpanel and WHM as well as the Server in general works fine.

Thank you and regards
Ralph

Regarding : Missing owner for domain centos-64-64-cpanel.localdomain, force lookup to root

Suspect that this is your server hostname.

Try adding hostname in the directive Servername of httpd.conf

Dear Prakash,

the directive is already included in httpd.conf, and the servername is correct.
What else could I do in order to rectify the problem?

Thanks & regards
Ralph

Have you tried to change the hostname from within WHM?

Hello

You can remove the old/invalid hostname entries from the non-cache files in the following directory:

/var/cpanel/userdata/nobody/

Thank you.

Dear cPanelMichael,

there are two files which do not have a .cache extension, a file called 'main' and a second file called 'centos-64-64-cpanel.localdomain'.

What exactly to delete? The whole file, or just a certain line?

Thank you.
Ralph


The main file content is:

---
addon_domains: {}

main_domain: centos-64-64-cpanel.localdomain
parked_domains: []

sub_domains:
  - centos-64-64-cpanel.localdomain
  - rootserver.example.de

The other file's content is:

---
documentroot: /usr/local/apache/htdocs
group: nobody
ifmodulemodsuphpc:
  group: nobody
ip: "*"
phpopenbasedirprotect: 1
port: 80
serveradmin: [email protected]
serveralias: www.centos-64-64-cpanel.localdomain
servername: centos-64-64-cpanel.localdomain
usecanonicalname: 'Off'
user: nobody
userdirprotect: ''

 

[cPanelMichael]

You can remove the entire "centos-64-64-cpanel.localdomain" file and edit the "main" file to replace the entry for the invalid hostname with the actual hostname of the server. Just to note, the warning message you see when rebuilding the Apache configuration file is harmless.

Thank you.

Dear cPanelMichael,

thank you, I just did that. The result after executing /scripts/buildhttpdconf is as follows:

info [buildhttpdconf] Missing IP for domain rootserver.example.de, using 148.251.20.41
info [buildhttpdconf] Missing ServerName for domain rootserver.example.de, using rootserver.example.de
info [buildhttpdconf] Missing port for domain rootserver.example.de, using 80
info [buildhttpdconf] Missing user for domain rootserver.example.de, using nobody
info [buildhttpdconf] Missing owner for domain rootserver.example.de, force lookup to root
info [buildhttpdconf] Missing group for domain rootserver.example.de, using nobody

Weird...

That's normal until the cache is updated. You should not experience any issues with Apache.

Thank you.
