I just moved a domain to our new server. I have 10+ domains on this server that I have moved with no problems. It was moved from a different server using CPanel. I have it set on a dedicated IP of 208.86.xx.xx. The httpd.conf file shows the correct IP, but I get the Default Website Page. I double checked to make sure it has a index.html in the public www and the homepage is named correctly. I have tried moving it to a different IP and back but for some reason it never works. It is only http that seems to not work. I have also restarted http services but nothing changes.

Nevermind. IE and Chrome do not seem to clear cache after closing. Firefox works just fine after closing and reopening browser.

I wanted to update this again. For some reason now when I add accounts to this server and put them on a dedicated IP. The httpd.conf file does not update and puts the site on the shared IP. I have to manually edit this everytime and run the rebuildhttpdconfig script. My backup server updates the httpd.conf to the correct IP every time.

Are you using any third-party web server applications such as Nginx or Litespeed? If not, feel free to open a support ticket so we can take a closer look. You can post the ticket number here so we can update this thread with the outcome.

Thank you.

To update, this has been resolved by manually updating the IP address within the /var/cpanel/userdata/$username/$domain file and rebuilding the Apache configuration file:

Code:
/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
Thank you.

The fix was alot more than that. I was manually doing this every time. Not trying to bust your balls but I think the ticket should be included.
