Park Wrapper Error

Park Wrapper Error

When trying to add an addon domain, or parked domain, you might run across a ‘Park Wrapper Error’. Here are some common errors, and how to fix them:

Error from park wrapper: domainname.com is already configured.

This means that a DNS Zone File already exists for this domain. If you have WHM, simply go to Delete a DNS Zone and remove the domain name you are trying to add.

Error from park wrapper: Using nameservers with the following IPs…. Sorry, the domain is already pointed to an IP address that does not appear to use DNS servers associated with this server.

This means you still need to point the domain name to the server before you can add it.

Error from park wrapper: Unable to find out which user owns the parked domain

To solve this error message (usually received when attempting to remove a parked domain name), simply try adding the domain name to the Addon Domains section of cPanel. It will error out. After you receive the error message, go into the Parked Domains section of cPanel and remove the domain name.

Error from park wrapper: domainname.com is owned by another user

This means the domain name is already setup with hosting on your server, under a different user’s account.

Proxy access for cPanel/WHM/webmail

Proxy access for cPanel/WHM/webmail.

With Linux Shared Hosting accounts, you have access to a control panel that contains the admin functions of your account. Generally you would access this using the following syntax:

http://yourdomain.com/cpanel
http://yourdomain.com:2082

This URL causes a problems for some owners, as it attempts to connect to port 2082. This is an uncommon port and may be blocked by corporate and public firewalls, thus preventing access.

If you are unable to access your cPanel using the above URL, you can access it using the following syntax:

http://cpanel.yourdomain.com

This syntax does not connect using an uncommon port, and will allow you access. The same rules apply for Webmail and WHM.

http://whm.yourdomain.com
http://webmail.yourdomain.com


Note
: You will need to create A records for each subdomain above if not created by default during account creation process.

IonCube PHP Loader Error on website

IonCube PHP Loader Error on website

Site error: the file /home/USER/public_html/index.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_X.X.so to be installed.

To Resolve this issue

Create a ‘php.ini’ within the following:

zend_extension = /home/USER/public_html/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_4.X.so

Download from : http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php

Replace USER with the username of the account you are uploading the php.ini file to.

Replace “X” with the appropriate version of the ioncube loader

Upload the php.ini to your public_html directory.

If you are running your script from a directory other than public_html - for example /home/USER/public_html/blog/index.php you will need to upload the php.ini file to that directory.
