shortcuts to cpanel for domainname

[llandler]

Hello,
I would like the standard:

/cpanel or /whm or /webmail

to work with my domains, but I am clueless about where to set this up (without doing it by hand for each domain)
Any hints?

thanks!
Laurie

Not an exact answer, I know, but for cPanel http://www.mydomain.com:2082 works just fine as a shortcut (or :2083 for https).

And... You can do a redirect in '.htaccess' and call it anything you want...

[llandler]

thanks for the speedy replys,

Actually...Gwaihir... http://www.mydomain.com:2082 is not working for me, I am still using the ip# to login. I would settle for the 2082 if I could get that to work...

Vin DSL: if I do the .htaccess file method, I'm back to doing it for each domain anyway, I want this set up automatically for each new account - could you add this to the skeleton directory? Is this something you've done?

thanks in advance!

Try a Cpanel update from WHM. There should be aliases already setup in the web configuration but they're left out at times. An update usually fixes the issue. If it doesn't, open a ticket and have a technician add the aliases for you.

Yes n' No...

Yes, I use lots of redirects via '.htaccess' on my SHARED account, but... No, I don't have a VPS account.

I was involved with the 'VPS Trials', a few months ago, here at JagPC. While I have some first-hand knowledge and experience with VPS, as implimented here, I'm far from an authority on the subject.

Accordingly, I don't want to steer you down the wrong path by 'guessing' how to do 'this' on your VPS account[s]. I don't 'think' what you want to do would be difficult, but I don't know for sure, so...

Perhaps someone that's more familiar with the situation can help you...

Heh! There you go...

Thanks, Eric!

Using the standard /cpanel or /webmail works fine on my account whether I use my main domain name, a subdomain, or a multihosted domain. I believe this is a standard feature of CPanel (I never had to set up anything special to make it work). I belive this is set up in the httpd.conf file as a server-wide directive. Therefore, no matter how many virtual hosts you add, all of them will inherit the redirects.

Thanks everybody for all the help!

Eric: the cpanel update did the trick! thanks!

For future searches.... Jason is correct the controls are in the httpd.conf file the configuration file for the Apache web server software. This sets it globally for all accounts you host.
