    Hi techs,

    I have tried to change main domain CNAME to other domain but it does not work. Sub domain CNAME changes are working fine in my WHM..

    Is it possible to change CNAME for primary domain? Please let me know if it has any other way.

    you should be able to change this in WHM.
    either delete the old entry, save, and create a new one.
    or edit the entry.

    Actually you might not be able to use CNAME on a main domain name. As per http://www.dns.net/dnsrd/rr.html

    So probably your control panel will allow:
    
subdomain.example.com   CNAME   some.other.com.
    Code (markup):
    but will not allow
    
example.com   CNAME   some.other.com.
    Code (markup):
