This was implemented when we implemented EasyApache 3. You can find the current EasyApache documentation on our website at: http://www.cpanel.net/support/docs/ea/ea3/customd...

In a cPanel environment, you could also click on "Mime Types" and have the same effect by adding .html to the application/x-httpd-php mime type. This will also curb the need for manual edits to httpd.conf

As of version 11.23, you can add wildcard subdomains via the cPanel interface. Simply go through as if you were creating a regular subdomain. Just enter the * character (an asterisk) for the subdomain field and cPanel will handle the rest automatically. No manual httpd.conf editing is necessary.

Re: Why I HATE “smart” Software: Cpanel vs Consulter

Note that MySQL 5.1 is not yet officially supported in a cPanel environment. Until our Quality Assurance team can verify that software that cPanel/WHM relies upon will not adversely affect cPanel/WHM functionality on the various distributions/platforms we support - the software will automatically downgrade to the latest supported version of the software. Of course, this is the source of your complaint about "smart" software ;).

If you don't intend to come to cPanel, Inc for support about unsupported customizations, feel welcome to perform any customization you desire (e.g. preventing MySQL upgrades from cPanel/WHM). After all, it is your server.

I know there are customers that have performed very interesting customizations to cPanel/WHM including running it on unsupported distributions, adding load balancing functionality and so forth. While we do not provide support for such things or assist in creating such functionality, we're not going to actively try to stop you from doing those things either - as long as it doesn't violate the EULA of course. That's what most people use our community forums for anyway, for assistance from fellow users regarding customizing cPanel/WHM beyond what is supported :).

I know experienced SysAdmins prefer having control over our software rather than attempt to operate within the constraints of the software's GUI and command-line interfaces. If you ever need any assistance with doing something to control the way cPanel operates (e.g. adding something to the account creation routines, integrating administrative functions with a custom web app etc.), you now have my direct email address - feel free to contact me at any time or drop by the community forums.

Re: How to setup Cron Job Using Cpanel?

The Cron Jobs functionality of the cPanel interface can be found at the bottom of the new cPanel 11 X3 interface in the section titled "Advanced."

Re: Can CPanel be more efficient in addon domains?

You should not be receiving errors merely for adding an add-on domain. The next time you encounter this, perhaps you may want to recommend that BlueHost contact cPanel, Inc.'s support team directly to resolve the issue.

The way the software functions in a normal environment is when you have filled out the page with information related to your add-on domain, path to store the files etc., you click the button to apply the settings and the most you may need to do is update your registrar's Nameserver entries to point to that cPanel/WHM server's Nameservers.
