Account Modification

[LinuxFreaky]

A customer upgraded to a higher plan, which includes a dedicated IP address, more space, and more bandwidth. However, when I tried modifying the account I didn't see these choices. Do I have to modify them manually? If so what do I need to edit?

Also, I have tried changing a user's username, with no results either, as the WHM told me it's not implemented yet. How do I do this manually then?

For the space/bandwidth, you can use the &Quota modification& and limit bandwidth usage features in WHM.

To change the IP from a name based to a static IP requires a bit of manual effort:

--Edit httpd.conf entry for domain.com---
1. SSH to server as root
2. vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
3. Locate user's domain by typing &/username& or &/domain.com&
4. Delete the &#NameVirtualHost 123.456.789.000:80& before the entry
5. Change the IP address in the virtual host entry from & VirtualHost 123.456.789.000&
to & VirtualHost THEIR-IP-ADDRESS&
(delete the spaces in front of VirtualHost- had to add them to make it display correctly)
6. Check in WHM to find a free IP address for the above step
7. Delete the ServerAlias line
8. Quit and save changes by typing &:wq&
9. Go into WHM and reload HTTP/Web Server (Apache) -- at the very bottom of the left bar

--EDIT ZONE FILE
1. vi /var/named/domain.com.db
2. Change this line: domain.com. 14400 IN A 209.123.169.204 to
domain.com. 14400 IN A THEIR-IP-ADDRESS
3. *CHANGE THE SERIAL NUMBER FOR THE ZONE FILE*
4. reload the domain's zone file by typing:
ndc reload domain.com
AND THEN
ndc reconfig domain.com

--EDIT IP FILE
1. vi /etc/domainips
2. Add entry to file in the form of:
123.456.789.XXX: domain.com
3. Quit and save changes

--EDIT PROFTPD CONFIG FILE
1. vi /etc/proftpd.conf
2. Hold page down until you get to the end of the file
3. Add an entry for the new domain name
