    • Out of Available IP Addresses
    • "Refresh Report Data" Error
    • DNS Entry Already Exists During Migration

    This page covers common cPanel-related issues in PanelAlpha.

    # Error During Reinstallation of an Instance

    Problem:

    Error: The domain subdomain.example.com may not be created by Y because example.com is already owned by another user.
    

    Solution: Enable Allow cPanel users to create subdomains across accounts in cPanel Tweak Settings (opens new window).

    # Domain Points to an IP Address Without DNS Servers

    Problem: The domain points to an IP address that does not use the associated DNS servers.

    Solution:

    1. If you are using the quick onboarding method, ensure the onboarding domain has a wildcard DNS record pointing to your hosting server's IP address.

      Or:

    2. Enable Allow remote domains in cPanel's Tweak Settings. For details, see the cPanel Support page (opens new window).

    # Out of Available IP Addresses

    Problem: No more available IP addresses on the system.

    Solution: Refer to the cPanel documentation (opens new window) for guidance on resolving this issue when assigning packages with dedicated IP addresses.

    # "Refresh Report Data" Error

    Problem: The Refresh Report Data action fails with the error: You do not have the features 'rawlog'.

    Solution: Ensure Raw Access Log is enabled in cPanel/WHM Feature Manager.

    # DNS Entry Already Exists During Migration

    Problem: A migration fails with the error:

    A DNS Entry For 'example.com' Already Exists. You Must Remove This DNS Entry From This Server Or All Servers In The DNS Cluster To Proceed.
    

    Cause: A DNS zone for the domain already exists in cPanel/WHM on the destination server (or across the DNS cluster), which prevents the migration from creating a new account for that domain.

    Solution:

    1. Log in to WHM on the destination server.
    2. Navigate to DNS Functions → Delete a DNS Zone.
    3. Find and remove the DNS zone for the conflicting domain.
    4. If you are using a DNS cluster, ensure the zone is removed from all servers in the cluster.
    5. Once the DNS entry is deleted, restart the migration process in PanelAlpha.
