Can't create subdomains of the same name under different domains

simply put: can i create 2 different apps, with domain names "my.domain1.com" and "my.domain2.com" respectively?


i tried the following:

my primary domain is "domain1.com".
then i create "my.domain1.com", cpanel creates the folder ~/public_html/my (which, i may just symlink to any places)

now for a totally different domain/application, i create an addon domain "domain2.com". and i need "my.domain2.com". (the same subdomain name, but it's another app under another domain) now cpanel would point my.domain2.com to the same ~/public_html/my folder which is for my.domain1.com.

seems like i can't break them into 2 different apps?

Yes, thats true. Cpanel puts all the sub-folders inside the public_html directory. So if you have already created the my sub-domain then the "my" folder is already created inside public_html directory.

So if you try creating the "my" sub-domain for your add-on domain then again it will try to create a directory "my" inside public_html. This contradicts with the existing "my" folder.

We can manually try setting this up for you. Please post us a support ticket for the same.
