Hi,

One of my users has 30 domains running. In order to install ssl on one of these domains I understand I have to assign this domain a static ip. I already added a ip to the server but can't find a way to assign this ip to this domain. Does anyone know how to do this??

Regards,

when you create a 'site' for IP select a exclusive / dedicated IP.

if you dont have one, you need to allocate the reseller account an exclusive IP to use.

Hi,

The site is already on a shared ip, is it not possible to change this afterwards??

not that im aware of, you need to backup the site, delete it, create a new site using the new IP, restore your previous data.

It's annoying to do that, i know - but it seems a lot of control panel software does this.

John / Mark, is it possible to change config files to convert a site from NB to IPB?

Hello,

You can easily change the IP of a Domain/User by clicking:

List / Modiy Users -> click his Username -> Modify Username's data -> Select the new IP and click save.

Note that the IP must be assigned to the Reseller/Admin in order to see the IP in the dropdown. If you can't see it, go to the
Admin Panel -> IP Manager -> select the IP -> select the Reseller/Admin from the dropdown -> click "Assign To"

Hope this helps.

ok my mistake...

you should enable the page in the demo so we can see what can be modified :D

also, im assuming DA automatically updates the DNS Zones with the new IP?

Damn, something goes terribly wrong. Since I changed IP for the user all his sites are down. I checked the DNS for all domains and the new IP is in it. Still no site is running :(

Sorry, my fault. Firewall was closed on this new IP :cool:
