I´m trying to create an account with the same domain name than the one that the server has.
my hostname is fran.mydomain.com and I want to create an account with that domain name so my clients can check my website at www.mydomain.com but cpanel won´t let me do it

I can manually edit httpd.conf and everything but I suposse there´s a way of doing this trough cpanel.

Any tips?

Why won't it let you? any error messages?

I didn't have a problem using the same domain as the hostname.

There shouldn't be a problem doing it. All you need to do is to create a site for 'mydomain.com' and it will create the necessary Cname or A record for 'www.mydomain.com'.

If you try to just create a 'www.mydomain.com' , it may disallow you from doing so because 'www.mydomain.com' is considered a subdomain based on 'mydomain.com' which has not be created as yet. The main domain needs to be created prior to the subdomain based on that domain name be created.

There was some line in httpd.conf containing my domain name, I suposse from the guys from SM, with some IP´s I dont´t own, maybe former Ip´s of that box.

tks a lot everyone!
