    Looking at the error it means the entry for the domain in DNS zone exists. You either have to delete the zone from WHM as root >> DNS Functions ยป Delete a DNS Zone. Select the zone file which you have to delete.

    Else from the server fire command as below.

    /scripts/killdns --domain=domain.com

    Alternatively, there should be an entry in the zone file of domain.com. So, edit the zone file from WHM and remove the hostname's entry & click Save.

    I hope this helps.

    ^This. You could simply go into the records for the domain in question & edit the entry. OR, you could completely remove it. what type of DNS record are you trying to create?
