The most common cpanel problems #

In this article, we will present the most important problems that users of the famous WHM / cPanel face.

1- Your cPanel accounts have an unlimited quota. #

 

Although you have specifically set different quotas of cPanel accounts, they all display settings

Unlimited stakes! to remedy it; Log in to your server with SSH and execute the following command:

2- I can’t log into my cPanel account. #

 

Sometimes you try to log into your cPanel account via your domain

https://your_domain:2083 أو your_domain / cpanel

However you cannot open this URL or you cannot log in even if you are using the correct username and password!

These issues usually occur when DNS changes are not fully propagated over the Internet, so until they are accessed you can log in to

cPanel account on

: https://your_LinuxVPS_IP:2083/

If you want to access WHM, go to:

https://your_LinuxVPS_IP:2087

Another mistake people usually make is trying to log into a cPanel account using [email protected]

as username when they actually need to use their actual cPanel username which is not an email address in WHM

You can see all created cPanel accounts and their usernames by going to:

Home » Account Information » Account List.

Then click Reset Certificate in the row for the service.

“Allow users to park subdomains of the server’s hostname”

Not affiliated with your server. You will then see this message:

 

Sorry, the domain is already pointed to an IP address that does not appear to use DNS

servers associated with this server. Please transfer the domain to this servers nameservers
