    Hi everyone,

    Since about November, my host switched my package to one that includes a free dedicated IP address.

    However he seems to not be able to assign the ip address to the correct directory.

    So if I typed in http://ipaddress/ Instead of it using my document root of my main domain, it uses the document root of my addon domain. And my hoster has apparently tried resetting it multiple times without any success.

    Is this a known cPanel bug?

    Your addon domain appears on the IP because it is above your main domain in httpd.conf virtual host list. Whichever virtual host appears first for that IP will be the one that displays at that address. Tell your host to make your main domain be the first virtualhost for the IP.
