CNAME redirects to Plesk default page

Phreek

New Pleskian
Hi everyone

I seem to be having a problem setting the cname records for my domain.
Whenever I set a cname record to an existing domain, either pointing to subdomain or a domain outside of my server it will only return the Plesk default page.

E.g.
cname.mydomain.com <cname> subdomain.otherdomain.com
cname.mydomain.com <cname> subdomain.mydomain.com

I am using Plesk 11.5.30 with update #48

Also I followed the steps mentioned in other threads or forums and already restarted apache and dns services, nothing seems to help.

I recall having had a similar problem using an earlier version of Plesk (about 5 years ago) when I had to create the cname records via root access but that was a server I was familiar with so I'd prefer not having to go there again.

Any suggestions highly appreciated.
