Added Dedicated IP to new Domain, HTTPS now goes to “Default Web Site Page”

[Michael-Inet]

Hi All,

I’ve added dedicated IPs to domains many times (Apache/Nginx), but something seems to have changed with the process since I did it last.

This was the go to source, but the cPanel doc it referenced is now gone:

Assign dedicated ip to addon domain.

Hi all Cpanel experts! I Have an account with domain1.com and then i have domain2.com that is an addon domain. Is it possible to just assign the addon domain an dedicated ip?

Digging it seems the Apache VirtualHost configuration is no longer being created correctly.

Above [dedicated-domain-name-broken] is not showing an entry for the 8443 port, while all the [dedicated-domain-name-a/b] modified the same way 2 years ago are working correctly.

What is the cPanel way to fix this?

Thanks,
Michael

Box:
cPanel & WHM v102.0.18 (STANDARD)
CentOS 7.9.2009
Engintron Nginx

Already tried, didn’t help:
The new .db entry in /var/cpanel/userdata/[user] was missing several lines that existed in the working [dedicated-domain-name-a/b]. I manually added those and rebuilt/restarted Apache:

/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
/scripts/restartsrv_httpd

Hello! Unfortunately, I don't believe there's currently a supported method for assigning a dedicated IP to an addon domain, although we do have an open feature request on this topic:

Can I add a dedicated IP address to an addon domain?

The best way to work around this would likely be to separate the addon domain into its own account using WHM > Convert Addon Domain to Account, then you could assign a dedicated IP to the new account.
