cannot un-park domain in cpanel

(This is not the same domain I spoke of in my other cpael thread I just started.)

I cannot un-park a domain in cpanel. I see the parked domain listed, and choose "Remove Domain!" to which cpanel replies:



Then I click "Go Back" and the domain is still there!

Plus, the domain ( http://www.mborghini.com ), if parked, should be loading http://www.matthewdoucette.com , but it is not. Has anyone experienced such a problem?

Have you spoke to your web hosting provider? This is what they are there for.

He is out for the weekend. I never expected to create such a mistake in cpanel.

I see. Maybe going to your domain control panel and select "forwarding" and foward to that domain?

Or create an .htaccess file in that domain to redirect to a new domain?

I am correct in thinking that you wish to use the parked domain for forwarding right?

I have done this. It was already setup and working before I accidentally deleted the parked domain (which worked) and then I added it back in. http://www.mborghini.com would load http://www.matthewdoucette.com before today. That is not the real problem though...

The actual problem is that my primary email used to be xxx@mborghini.com and it is not anymre (as of today), but it does not bounce the emails back! I need it to bounce.

When I first added the domain in (as a parked domain or an addon domain) I could only mess with emails like something@mborghini.matthewdoucette.com instead of something@mborghini.com. In my efforts to fix this I deleted the subdomain mborghini.matthewdoucette.com and now I am left with a parked domain that cannot be deleted.

It is all too confusing really... if only I could just peer inside the httpd.conf file and make some edits!

I am thinking of several things at the moment.

1) Just foward the domain using your 'domain registrars control panel'

2) Get your host to look at the 'logs' of your account to see what the error may be behind it. - But your host is not available to support you.

The second option would be the most helpful because we don't exactly know what the error is.

UPDATE:

Apparantly xxx@mborghini.com is now bouncing. It just took a very very long time to receive it (an hour or so.)

My next problem is still basically the same, I want to mess around with something@mborghini.com instead of something@mborghini.matthewdoucette.com , so that I may now forward emails to xxx@mborghini.com to my new email.

Maybe I do not need to delete the parked domain (although I am not sure why my non-deleted parked domain is not loading) to do this.

Right, so thats one thing over and done with. I actually have a server with cpanel, so let me test it out. See if there are options in there.

Will put another post in 1 minute ok.

Thanks for the help. You mean to forward the domain within my registrar, right? That would probably work, but I would like to play around with those emails in cpanel, if possible. (I know it is possible, as I was doing it before today.)

I'm not sure why cpanel tends to put everything as a subdomain name. I do not like that at all. I just want to play with emails on the domain itself. I am not sure if something@1stdomain.2nddomain.com is even a legitimate email?

I have just seen the 'Create email account' section. There should be a drop down menu beside the :

'email' @ [drop-down-list-here]


See if that drop down menu allows you to have that domain as your email accout.




//EDIT:
Well that:

1stdomain.2nddomain.com

1stdomain = sub-domain
2nddomain = main domain.

Thats how cpanel would create it.

All that is listed in the drop down box is:

matthewdoucette.com

EDIT: This list is the same under "Add a new Forwarder" and "Add a New Domain Forwarder" and "Default Address Maintenance" and probably everywhere else.

Before, before I deleted the mborghini.com subdomain name in the "Subdomains" off the main page, I had this listed:

matthewdoucette.com
mborghini.matthewdoucette.com

I think by deleting that subdomain, I may have screwed up cpanel which is now why I cannot delete the mborghini.com parked domain. I am not sure, however.

It is a bit strange. I don't usually use cPanel, i stick to directadmin. Maybe someone more experienced with cPanel might be able to help.

But i also checked the forwarding in cPanel im using and it has the main domain.

Just out of curiosity, when you first parked the domain did that mborghini subdomain automatically add? Or did you add that?

I remember now... I did an "addon domain" and it created the subdomian name. (I would have never created it myself on purpose.)

I somehow deleted that subdomain name and then had the domain parked, only. So, parking a domain does NOT create a subdomain name, but "adding on" (addon domains) does create a subdomain name.

That being said... what was I thinking previously?! Deleting the subdomain name should not have affected whether or not I can now go delete a parked domain.

Im beginning to see the link. Again, your host is the only one who has access to your logs. You need to find out the error is and see whats going on.

My guess is that the problem arised when you deleted the sub-domain.

But as i said before, you need to talk to someone more experience with cPanel.

Sorry if i wasn't much help lol.

You were plenty help. Just discussing this helps brings new ideas to my head! Thanks!

I will wait until my server tech can help me out and I'll post the results here.
