How to change domain name from user account?

[ferrynl]

Hi,

How can we change the domain name from the user account?
I can only add a Alias domain now.

you can add an addon domain or re-create account.

for example: user1, domain1.com

will replace with domain2.com

its enough to update field domain in table user via database root_cwp, and also change /usr/local/apache/conf.d/vhosts.conf?

you can always do manual changes, but you need to know and be sure if you have made a changes on the all required places?, like mail settings and so on...

hope, admin can inform us to know the right place

there is many locations that would need to be changed, probably it would be easier to recreate this account.

I know it's old but ..

I changed the domain in:
CWP.admin> Apache Settings> Edit Apache vhosts

and then in the CWP database...
CWP.admin> SQL Services> phpMyAdmin> root_cwp> user

Hello Team,

Do we have any updates on this topic?

Have we added feature to update main domain of user? Is there a way to do this ? Is it possible with API calling?

Please update..

Regards..

I don't think this will ever be implemented.  As stated before, one could create a new account with the proper domainname, and copy files over.  Option B is to do an addon domain pointing to the root dir

The issue is, that everything in the system depends on that domain name.  2 mail programs would have to be updated as well, and to keep the old mail, a major tweak would have to be done.   Don't count on it ever happening.  JS

Note this is a standard feature in cPanel.
It wouldn't be that tricky to do in a script..

I'm not saying it's impossible.  Just unrealistic when we can barely get a response on bug reports

Hi
any update?
I have changed one of my domains by editing  root_cwp in mysql  and  /usr/local/apache/conf.d/vhosts.conf.

It seems to be working well

I am using exchange mail server and cloudflare. So ssl and email have not  been affected

Under these conditions, What else  problems may I encounter ?
