TECH TIP: Use local IP after relocating server to Dynamic IP location - dahweeds - 04-12-2012 09:35 PM

When my server was in the office that had the Static IP from the ISP, I set the system base IP to the same.

Well, I moved my server to an office that has only the dynamic ip address. I used the router to forward port 80 and imap 143 to the server. The mail was working, but I was not able to see my websites or to find the control panel. I also tried using the server as the DMZ target, but it still did not show the pages, only the 404 error.

So I tinkered with many things, even did upgrade of everything, but no dice.
I surfed and searched this forum and google but came up with no clear answer.

Finally turned out that I must change the system ipaddress to the local IP address now.

So I followed the guide for changing server base IP here:
http://isp-control.net/documentation/howto/ispcp/change_ip

First I tried the ISP's dynamic IP but it did not work. The mail was working fine though so I was quite confused. Lastly, I used the local ip rather than the ISP's Dynamic Address.

For example:
BASE_SERVER_IP = yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
BASE_SERVER_IP = 192.168.0.2

Tada!
Thanks again for your control panel.
