Now, you go to Cloudron and try to install an app in the domain <code>app.domain.com</code>. Cloudron will detect that the DNS already has an entry for this and fail with the above error. To fix this, go to your DNS provider and remove the <code>app.domain.com</code> entry. Then in Cloudron, click the Repair (wrench icon) and it should work.</p>
<p dir="auto">Alternately, just use another subdomain <a href="http://app2.domain.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">app2.domain.com</a> or something.</p>

We are working on an override feature at the moment though.</p>
