Incorrect domains displayed at “Show IP Address Usage” in WHM.

If WHM isn’t showing you the right information under ‘Show IP address usage’, it likely means that the userdata files contain incorrect information. 

For the sake of an example, let’s say that WHM »IP Functions »Show IP Address Usage is displaying domain.com and wrongdomain.com on the ip address 192.168.1.2. In order to find the incorrect information, we need to look in cPanel’s userdata files (disregarding the cached files) using this command:

grep wrongdomain.com -R -H /var/cpanel/userdata/ | grep -v .cache

That should give you output that looks something like this:

[~]# grep wrongdomain.com -R -H /var/cpanel/userdata/ | grep -v cache
/var/cpanel/userdata/$CPANELUSERNAME/main:main_domain: wrongdomain.com

Fantastic! The next step is to backup that file. I recommend /root/oldfiles/ for most of the backups that I won’t be keeping around, so in my case these are the commands to run:

mkdir /root/oldfiles/
cp /var/cpanel/userdata/$CPANELUSERNAME/main /root/oldfiles

And then you need to edit the file to remove the incorrect name. More often than that the line main_domain: actually reflects the incorrect domain. If it does, replace the incorrect domain with the correct domain, and you’ll be all set!
