    Hi,

    I've just imported a website from another hoster into my whm installation, created the account under the hostname example.com
    It worked fine.
    Sometime later in the day i changed my mind and renamed the user account (in whm, not in cpanel) example.fr
    And damn! i was wrong, the main domain is example.com so i changed it back to example.com

    Now it still works but only with the www prefix. www.example.com shows the website, but example.com gives me the example.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi error message.

    Any idea how i can fix this without recreating the account from scratch?

    Thanks
