How to change Site IP

I want to change my sites ip from main shared to the dedicated one.

I can do this from the cpanel.

but the thing it when i do it it show me the apache page. saying apache is working fine on this server.

So my query how can i keep my old site working fine even if i have changed the site ip

If you see here is my site http://zillr.info it's showing the apche placeholder rather then then my original site

any help will be appreciated

 

congrats to your dedicated server - you'll have fun and enjoy the power of beeing your own root/admin.

however
before the joy come the work
and before the work the learning

currently you may have to configure your entire apache config
you use apache 1.3 and php4
are you sure you want that ?? really sure ???

if you KNOW why - then fine
if you have SW running ONLY on php4 - also fine

else think about installing/upgrading to current versions like apache2.2 and php5 to remain fit for the many years to come.

for apache1.3 i have little or no experience anymore

but you have similar main parameters as apache2.2
you have to set document root in your apache config file and make all the config adjustments to serve your content correctly.

keep in mind that THESE very moments/seconds/hours and days are THE days were hackers enter easiest your site / server to use/abuse your site for all kinds of things.

a year ago I also move from shared to dedicated server and had hackers knocking at my server before even the IP was converted to domain - hence START with security before anything else.
one security hole to close might be to completely eliminate password access and move to serverkey authentication.

since you might have some configuration work ongoing for all the years to come
you also may start to get used to fish:// protocol using konqueror ... it works like a charm - like browsing your localhost.

good luck

 

It smells like SPAM As this is no way related to my query

 

this is very directly related to your query
at the time of your earlier post your server did NOT show any correct apache start page
hence you had NO apache configuration done by then

 

Sorry About that

 

You need to change at the domain registrar... Aname record to dedi IP (and all other entries if you want to use mail and alias aso). Unless you are running nameservers yourself ... which I don't think you are, since asking this question.

Just make sure you have installed the IPs correctly on the server.

 

typically root server hosts may offer a NS service included in the server package
hence all you may have to do is to change the nameserver entry at your registrar page or where ever you have your domain account.

a good idea with a root server is to have your own master NS on your own machine and to make all other NS slaves.

if your server host offers NO NS servers - then you may also find commercial or free NS services such as
http://www.zoneedit.com/

first you may use a service like zoneedit.com as primary master NS - then later when you set up your own DNS Service on your own server, you may make your own DNS master and switch the zoneedit.com DNS as slave that automatically updates from your own server.

this way you keep FULL control of all your own stuff. a good feeling!

the fact however that the following data are online registered:

host zillr.info
zillr.info has address 72.167.38.101

means that your DNS is already setup for the server IP 72.167.38.101 - if THAT is your NEW dedicated server.

hence the remaining problem may only be the a.m. apache configuration for the /server/root-document

on SuSE Linux 10.2 running apache2.2
such a configuration would be by default the file
/etc/apache2/default-server.conf
and the typical domain configuration might look similar to below: ( with minor possible variations for apache 1.3 syntax )
