Is there a quick way how to upgrade an IP-less account to IP-enabled? Can't find anything from the WHM.

I don't think its possible unless you delete and recreate the account.

Actually, it is very possible. (not necessarily in this order)

1. edit httpd.conf and delete the NameVirtualHost line for that domain.

2. change the IP from the shared to the dedicated.

3. add the IP to /etc/ips

4. go to WHM and add in that IP address.

5. Create an entry in proftpd.conf with that IP address and domain name.

6. Edit DNS for that domain to reflect the new IP address.

7. Restart proftpd and apache.

I hope I am not leaving anything out. It has been a long night. :(

You'll probably want to edit their zone file to reflect the correct information, as well :)

Yes.. that is how it is done.

Also works in evers order to move sites to a shared IP.

just my 3 cents

I know what to do in httpd.conf to move sites to a shared IP, but, what must i do in proftpd.conf?

Thanks,

You do not need anything in proftpd.conf. In fact, you should remove the referenced domain name and IP address if moving to a shared IP address.
