Ctrl+W then ScriptAlias /cpanel /usr/local/cpanel/base/redirect.cgi
Step 4: Edit the line to show the following: ScriptAlias /cpanel /usr/local/cpanel/base/sredirect.cgi (simply change the redirect.cgi to sredirect.cgi)

Ctrl+W then ScriptAlias /whm /usr/local/cpanel/base/whmredirect.cgi
Step 6: Edit the line to show the following:
