Let me set this up:

my NS1. IP is *.30 and NS2 is *.23
my main shared IP is *.29

When you type in the *.29 IP one of the shared sites comes up, and thus does when new sites haven't propogated yet and are using temporary access.

I want to change that site that comes up on the main *.29 IP address.

The domain I want to change it to is the main domain on the NS1 *.30 IP

Normally i know you can just move the domain on the same IP as *.29 to the top of the virtual hosts, but i'm nervous doing that as the domain I want to use is the main on *.30



How do I get the domain.us that's the main on *.30 (NS1) to also be the default on my main shared IP of *.29

Thanks guys!

Hello,


sorry for delay,


you can set the main site of shared ip to default (cpanel page) :)

login via SSH

1 -
PHP:
cd /usr/local/apache/conf
2 -
PHP:
cp httpd.conf httpd.conf.back
3 -
PHP:
pico httpd.conf
4 - press Ctrl + W
5 - search for
PHP:
SSL Virtual Host Context
6 - after :

Code:
##
## SSL Virtual Host Context
##


</IfDefine>
add :

Code:
NameVirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80

<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
BytesLog domlogs/server.host.com-bytes_log
ServerName server.host.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/htdocs
</VirtualHost>
in the code above, change xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your shared ip

change server.host.com with your host name.

7 - Press Ctrl + X then type 'y' then 'enter' then 'enter' again :)

restart the Apache by : service httpd restart

try to open your shared ip you will find the default cpanel page :)

Note : you can set the directory to an exist account on your server as the directory of the main site . and the server name to the domain of your main site.

i hope that i helped ya :)


Good Luck
