To Change Server IP Addresses

  1. Connect to your server through SSH, using a client such as PUTTY.
  2. Enter your User name and Password.
  3. Run the command to become the super user:
    su -
  4. Enter your root password.
  5. Run the following to create a mapfile of your IPs:
    /usr/local/psa/bin/reconfigurator.pl mapfile
  6. Using an editor (nano or vi, for example) to edit the mapfile, remap the public IP address to the internal IP address with the following command, where 22.33.44.55 is the public IP and 10.0.0.1 is the internal IP:
    eth0:22.33.44.55 255.255.255.255 -> venet0:10.0.0.1 255.255.255.255
  7. Run the following to read your mapfile and reconfigure Plesk IP Addresses:
    /usr/local/psa/bin/reconfigurator.pl mapfile

NOTE: IP address allocation is monitored. Attempting to add IP addresses to your server that have not been purchased is a violation of your terms of service agreement and may result in the suspension of your account.
