IP Address

[vishal]

I have some 6 ip's assigned to my server. Out of this 6 ip's I had assigned one ip to a particular website. Now I don't remember whom i had assigned it to. In the httpd.conf I could not see any virtualhost entry for this IP. But when I enter this IP in the browser url it goes to default page of some other domain. How do I trace this out and get my ip free.

Thank you,

Hi,
If you login to WHM and then go down to Show IP Address Usage it will list the IPs and then to the right of the IP it will show the domains using the IP
Thanks

Thank you for your reply. I have already checked with that. No domain is bind to that ip. I have asked the data center people to check if that have assigned that ip to any other server.

is the address in your IP pool?

 

[vishal]

yes that ip address belongs to my server ip pool. To test this ip when I ftp to my other ipaddress they log an entry in my /var/log/messages. But when I ftp this ip address no entry is been log.

/sbin/ifconfig will show if you're currently listening on that IP address or not.

If you are, perhaps you have an IP conflict with another server using that IP address too.

And double, triple, quadruple check the IP to make sure it's your's. Being half asleep last night I tried over and over again to figure out why a new client couldn't log into his ftp account.

Finally I submitted a rather jaded ticket to my datacenter tech staff asking them why one of my IP's was bound to someone elses' server.

This was quickly followed by the realisation that I was an idiot and told the guy 113 instead of 213. Needless to say that after I got my foot out of my mouth I asked the tech guys to cancel the support ticket :P

The moral of the story is make absolutely sure you have the right IP. 1 little # wrong caused me hours of hairpulling and worrying that I might lose a very important corporate customer just because he couldn't ftp into the server.
