Transferred pkgs have dedicated IP

**dory36** · 12-24-2006 07:01 AM

I set up a new server by transferring a number of accounts and packages from another server.

For some reason, all the packages came over with the Dedicated IP address option set to true, unlike the originals. When I try to edit the packages, that option is not editable -- it just shows the "yes".

Is there a way to change that option on the new server, other than deleting and recreating all the packages?

Thanks - Bill

This has also happened to me. I need this fixed and have not found anything yet. Most people are telling me that I have to delete the package and recreate it but there must be a way to fix this. It shows up as dedicated ip = yes in the package editor inside WHM, but if you are in the package filename in /var/cpanel/packages, dedicated ip is set to no. So I am not sure what is wrong here, is there a script to fix this. Can someone help?

I'm having this problem also and need it fixed ASAP. How do you remove the dedcated IP from all of the packages (as it was added to them when transferred to my new server)?

There's a weird bug with transferring packages. We know the end result (which you are describing) but are still trying to nail down the particulars.

The short for this thread: to resolve the issue, redo the line endings for each package file afflicted.

For example, with the package named "Test":

1. SSH into the server with the problem package, as root
2. cd /var/cpanel/packages
3. Open the file "test" in your favorite text editor (jed, vim, nano, pico, etc)
4. Replace each line ending with a "true" new line:
4a. for each line in the file, goto the end of the line
4b. hit the delete key to delete the line ending (this should cuase the next line to come o the line you are currently on)
4c. with your cursor on the first line of the line appended by the last step, hit the enter key
5. Save the file and close your text editor
6. Problem solved

If you open the file in vi or vim, you can enable viewwing of invisilbe characters (:set list) and then do a search/replace

That didn't fix it. I edited one plan, multiple times, but it still says that it has a dedicated IP address. I'll try re-transffering the accounts later. If it doesn't work, I'll open a support ticket.
