I signed up for my VPS and specified knownhost.mydomain.org as my hostname. Now, I'd like to create a cPanel account through which to manage mydomain.org, mostly to setup a website at www.mydomain.org.
When I try to add a cPannel account for mydomain.org via WHM, I get the following error:
=====
Account Creation Status: failed
Sorry, the domain 'mydomain.org' is already setup (remove it from httpd.conf with '/scripts/killvhost mydomain.org', and be sure to excise it from /var/cpanel/userdata/)
=====
Now, I'm fairly sure I don't want to remove mydomain.org from httpd.conf.
How should I go about adding a cPanel account to manage mydomain.org? Should I just add one specifically for www.mydomain.org? Should I have the VPS switched to a different domain name which won't be used for webhosting? Along those lines, would it be possible to move the VPS to a sub-domaiin of mydomain.org (say knownhost.manage.mydomain.org) and thus free up the root domain for account creation?
Sorry, lots of questions there. I'm sure this is a pretty common request, but Google wasn't really my friend in trying to resolve this. Anyone who's been through this, I'd appreciate your guidance.
As always, thanks for reading!
