How can I change a sites IP address, when the IP isn't list on the 'Change Site's IP Address' page in WHM? The IP is also being used as a ns1 nameserver

In the root WHM, on the left, under IP FUNCTIONS.

ADD A NEW IP ADDRESS

SHOW OR DELETE CURRENT IP ADDRESSES

SHOW/EDIT RESERVED IPs

geez man, just look around on the WHM, there's lots of stuff on there :)

It's all there, including theIPs, but I wasn't able to use the features in those options, which is what I was asking for help about. I have solved it myself now though.

Im having the same problem. What fixed it for you?

I have the IP's added in Cpanel
They are not checked in the reserved list (but they are listed there so I could reserve them)

But when I do "Change Site's IP Address' there is nothing in the dropdown box for IP's

Suggestion's anyone?

try to restart IP aliases by running:
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipaliases stop
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipaliases start

However I am not sure it will help.

Additionally, I advise to "Rebuild the IP Address Pool", see the section "IP Functions" of your WHM.

Ahhhh, I think I am getting closer now. i got this when running the stop then start. I think that the aliais is pointing at eth0 and my nic is eth01 (think).

This would explain why my nameservers are also not functioning that i setup

root@zeus [/etc]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipaliases start

Then run:

#/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart

(NOTE !!! YOU MUST RUN RESTART, NOT STOP/START)

and then

#ifconfig

in shell of your server and check available ethX interfaces. if eth0 doesn't exists then probably IPs weren't added properly. In this case I advise you to remove them via WHM and add again.

To remove the IP click on "Show or Delete Current IP Addresses".

Got it (thanks everyone) The folks over @ theplanet got me on the right track. I had to do the following (because my host by default uses eth1

in WHM go to Basic cPanel/WHM Setup, set Alternate Main Ethernet Device to eth1, and then click save.

Then, log in via ssh as root and restart ipaliases with the command:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipaliases restart
