Change Server Main IP for Cpanel

Posted by hbhb, 08-30-2007, 11:12 AM
Hi, I currently have a problem here. I want to change my server IP from xxx.xxx.xxx.123 to xxx.xxx.xxx.321 1. I have requested cPanel IP changes to xxx.xxx.xxx.321 2. I am about to make changes for my eth0 to to xxx.xxx.xxx.321 3. How do I manually change cPanel setting (inside WHM) main server IP to xxx.xxx.xxx.321 using SSH command? Which files to edit? When I change my eth0 to new IP, it won't detect the license anymore telling me "Invalid License"

Cpanel provides license for specific IP address. So you should contact your cpanel license provider and ask them to give cpanel license to your new IP address.

That is already been done (#1)

Change the IP's in /etc/hosts and /etc/wwwacct.conf files and run the following commands in shell. #rdate -s rdate.cpanel.net #/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt

Thanks. I tried on a dummy server. When I click List Accounts, all my 100 accounts are still showing the old IP address instead of the new IP address, how do I make effective to have all domain accounts to use new IP address?

You will need to go to option change multiple sites IP address in WHM and change the IP address of all sites from there.
