Is there any way to set up a user that can use CPanel for the host's primary website?

Do you mean for the hostname of the server?
If so, then no. The hostname of the server cannot be configured as a domain.

If not, then please explain. :)

Thanks for the reply, QT.

When you say hostname, are you referring to

foo.domainname.com OR

domainname.com

?



I want to be able to work with the default site the same way accounts on my site will. I've added the domainname (webglimmer.com) to my accounts, and it seems ok.

I am also getting errors every time I modify any dns entry. Some pages stop and say action cancelled, while others say that the ndc connection closed: this may indicate .... blah... an older version of the protocol.

I am also unable to get subdomains from the subaccounts to work properly. It appears that i have to add the manually, before I add them in cPanel. Otherwise, everything looks the same, but doesn't work.

Any suggestions, or tips?

There really isn't a default or primary web site on cPanel. This is why we recommend that you not name your server "www.yourdoman.com", because you would be unable to add an account for your own domain and you could not manage the web site through cPanel. You need to add an account to manage any web site added to a cPanel server.

The ndc errors are caused by a named bug with cPanel .. you need to log in through SSH, su to root, then run /scripts/fixndc. If that does not correct the problem, you should submit a ticket (Request Support, category = initial install problem) to have someone look at it.

I am not sure about the subdomains. You may want to consult the cPanel documentation and cPanel support forums for more information on that.
