We have a account configured under whm with url www.my-domain.com and running fine since last 1 month, however, we need to change the domain name to www.mydomain.net

Is it possible to just rename the URL my-domain.com to mydomain.net under account settings ?
Or we have to make some additional changes ?

From research i came accross this issues

- The old domain is not removed from the list of local domains.
- Other references to the old domain remain in some configuration files under /etc. Try grepping recursively from there for the old name.
- The subdirectory where mail accounts are stored (under /home/username/mail) is not renamed with the new domain name.

I have to make the changes asap to an existing domain without any glitches.
We have our forums configured on olddomain.com which needs to be configured on a newdomain.net


Regards,

Why don't you just create a new account for the .net domain and forward the old .com domain to the .net one?

I want to setup .net domain as the primary domain for my website and use forwarding for old domain name .com

I own the .net domain and not the .com hence need to change the same under WHM

click Modify an Account under Account Functions. You should able to change the domain name in there

after a research i found following things:
I will have this problems

- The old domain is not removed from the list of local domains.
- Other references to the old domain remain in some configuration files under /etc. Try grepping recursively from there for the old name.
- The subdirectory where mail accounts are stored (under /home/username/mail) is not renamed with the new domain name.

Is this true ?
