i-MSCP Documentation

For these versions the change is quite simple because the engine allows some reconfigurations (such as this one an others) You only need to do:

cd /var/www/imscp/engine/setup
perl imscp-setup --reconfigure ips

For the older versions, the change has to be done manually, basically as follows:

* Change IP address in /etc/imscp/imscp.conf

From:

BASE_SERVER_IP = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

To:

BASE_SERVER_IP  = yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

then, stop the i-mspcp daemon: Code: /etc/init.d/imscp_daemon stop

Now we need to change the IP address in database. Also we need to change the domain status from 'ok' to 'changed' so that the IP address will be replaced by a new one for all domains, subdomains and aliases.

#Connect to mysql:
mysql -u root -p
USE imspcp;

UPDATE server_ips SET ip_number = "yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy" WHERE ip_id = 1;
UPDATE `domain` SET `domain_status` = 'change' WHERE `domain_status` = 'ok';
UPDATE `subdomain` SET `subdomain_status` = 'change' WHERE `subdomain_status` = 'ok';
UPDATE `domain_aliasses` SET `alias_status` = 'change' WHERE `alias_status` = 'ok';
UPDATE mail_users SET status="toadd" where status="ok";

• Make the system update the domains configuration

/var/www/imscp/engine/imscp-rqst-mngr

• Start the i-mspcp daemon:

/etc/init.d/imscp_daemon start

• Finally modify the IP addresse in apache and bind, this can be done with the simple sed onliner below (just replace the word xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the new ip yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:

sed -i "s/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx /yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy/g" /etc/apache2/sites-available/* /etc/bind/* /var/cache/bind/* /etc/imscp/*/working/*

• Restart apache and bind:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
/etc/init.d/bind9 restart
