Changing sites IP

[BW -Tim]

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

Anyone?! :D

Make sure you have ns ip sharing enabled.

Make sure that ip is not on the reserved list.

Make sure that ips is on the ip list.

Where abouts is the IP list?

[jandafields]

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

Thanks for the update. It helped me to learn something new.
