You add or change the private nameservers on your dedicated server; however, when you set an account up through WHM it does not show your private nameservers. To correct this, you will need to edit the wwwacct.conf file. Follow these steps to do it:�=

# vi /etc/wwwacct.conf
Add or edit following lines as per your requirement.
ns = ns1.domain.com
ns2 = ns2.domain.com

Save the file, then recreate the account in WHM; it should now show your private nameservers.

2) Follow these steps if a reseller client wants to use his private nameservers in WHM:

Go to whm >> Resellers >> Reseller Center

Select the appropriate reseller account from dropdown list.
Click on edit privileges / Nameservers

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and enter the name of the reseller’s nameserver(s) in the blank field next to Primary nameserver and secondary nameserver as per below.

Primary nameserver = ns1.domain.com
Secondary nameserver = ns2.domain.com

Click on ’save’.

Now, when the reseller creates accounts through WHM, his/her’s private nameservers should be used!

If a client gets the following error whilst trying to access SquirrelMail: 

Warning: main(../config/config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/functions/global.php on line 18
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘../config/config.php’ (include_path=’/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/lib/php/:.’) in /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/functions/global.php on line 18

…then follow these steps to fix the problem:

1)
Go to directory /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/config

# cd /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/config
2)
copy config_default.php to config.php

root@server1[/usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/config]# cp config_default.php config.php
 That should be the problem solved!

 

If a client only wants to use either Horde or SquirrelMail, then follow these steps:

1)
The the client wants to disable Horde:

root@server1[/]# vi /var/cpanel/users/username
Add the following lines:

skiphorde=1
skipsqmail=0

save the file.

root@server1[/]# Service cpanel restart

If a client wants to disable Horde and disable SquirrelMail then add these lines:

skiphorde=0
skipsqmail=1
