hi,

i have cpanel with linux 7.3 on server

now they are moving my server to a different ip and subnet

what files i have to change and when should i change after moving or before

thanks for help

/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Remember to bring your eth0 interface down and then back up.

Then use the built in IP change feature within WHM for the accounts hosted on your box.

thanks

how do i do
bring your eth0 interface down and then back up.

ifdown eth0
ifup eth0

Sorry, but dont you also have to modify /etc/hosts ? I could be mistaken!

It's not required. Your machine will still function with the old values listed in that file. However some applications may require this file to be accurate.

Isnt Apache webserver one of them?

No, I don't believe so.

Wow ... I cannot believe that you (numerous people posting in this thread) don't know how to run a Linux machine.

This is the base problem with new companies today, they become so focsed on everything else, and because of ****ty linux distributions like RedHat that basically allow linux-illiterate people to run a server, which means that they have no knowledge on getting it to work when it breaks.

I suggest the timeless quote, that I usually don't use, but RTFM (Read the efing manual)

Get a couple linux books, and learn to do this yourself, that's the only way to understand the system you are working on. If you need book recomendations, feel free to ask.

Your system appears to be vulnerable to apache chunking.

also do not forget to reconfigure your firewall.

Half of them don't feel the need to even google it first. Why actually learn something when some else can do it for you?

This is the same mentality that whines about speed and downtime at a $50.00/mo. provider.

When I *finally* understood RTFM is a compliment - the assumption I could ingest, comprehend and act on new knowledge - things started getting better.
What really baffles me is that documentation now is so much more complete, available and thorough relative to 3-5 years ago thats it faster to find it then post & wait.

Back when comp.unix.sysadmin and comp.unix.wizards was actually useful, RTFM was intended to keep the threads focused on the unknowns/unclear, and so teach everyone new things.

"RTFM" "Check the source" "man <whatever> " are intended to *really* help, not cripple by giving a crutch to the lazy.

At least the original question was clear...
