In reply to: Domain mappingOne more thing – I also had to flush my DNS cache and clear the browser’s history. Even though I had deleted the cpanel account I was still getting the server default message until I cleared the DNS cache and the browsing history. As far as I know it’s still ipconfig /flushdns for windows boxes. Newer versions of OS X get flushed from terminal by typoing the following command: sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
It would make sense that I can still set up a cpanel account and add email etc but for some reason I had to delete it first.

In reply to: Domain mappingI had a similar issue at first. That’s because I had set up a cpanel account for the domain. Assuming the main site is MAIN.com and the new site is NEW.com I had to delete the cpanel account for NEW.com, then change the A record of NEW.com to point to the IP address of MAIN.com. In MAIN.com I set up the subdirectory (the new site) but it still didn’t work. I had to browse to My Sites > Network Admin > Sites then choose the NEW site you created (e.g. MAIN.com/new which is also where you want NEW.com to go) then click EDIT. On the INFO tab under Site URL, you need to put the domain name e.g. NEW.com. I had MAIN.com/new but that was what was causing the problem. This has to be NEW.com so that when the DNS points to MAIN.com it looks for NEW.com. Good luck, It’s actually pretty awesome once you get it set up properly.
