Default Change Site IP address

How do I change the IP address of a site?

It defaults to the primary IP address and although I set the privileges to use "any" ip address all the sites I moved over was allocated the same IP address.

When going to "Account Function" > "Change IP address" the second IP is not available.

Is there somewhere that I need to allocate the second IP as a shared ip?

Try IP Functions-> Rebuild the IP Address Pool

It says no ip's available.

I have two reseller accounts on the box with a SSL bind to the second reseller.

I did not reserve any ip's for any of the reseller accounts and allow both to create accounts on any of the ip's

Now all the transferred accounts are on the first ip where I want them on the second ip.
The second reseller account owns all of the accounts.

Feels as if I am missing something somewhere...

What does "a SSL bind to the second reseller" mean? That they have a dedicated IP?

Check IP Functions-> Show IP Address Usage.

It's very easy to change a site Ip,
1. Log into server as root
2. Look on left side an scroll until you see "change sites IP"
3. Click on link
4. Choose site and click change button
5. choose IP address

Hope this helps..

Default Re: Change Site IP address

The SSL is installed on the second IP after I moved the reseller from the first ip to the second one. So yea that means it is a dedicated ip.

Show ip usage shows all the accounts on the first ip and just the reseller on the second one.

On my reseller box I had a dedicated ip with sites running on the same dedicated ip as the reseller account.

@Rangemoore: Yea I understand that it should be that easy to change the ip but it doesn't work. It shows no ip available.

Now the question is;
1. Is there a different setup on the reseller servers that allows me to host sites on my dedicated ip?
2. Haven't I reached that part of the learning curve yet?
3. Is there something wrong with my VPS setup?

Go to Resellers-> Reseller Center-> Reseller Modifications, select the reseller using the 2nd IP, then check Manage Ip Delegation, or Manage Main Shared/Ipless Ip.
I'm not sure which one works or if you have to modify both.
