How can I change the ip address?

[yongsan]

Hi,

Due to some unforseen circumstances, we have no choice but to shift our server to another datacenter which will require a change of ip address,

Is there any procedure to change ip address for Plesk 8? I only have a domain in the Plesk..

Thanks for your advise.

Hello,

Just log into plesk and click on "server" then click on "ip addresses" the click "reread IP. Now go to the DNS of the domain and click on "default" and it will change the physical hosting setup for you. Make sure you remember what extra records you might have added as default will remove them.

Hi,

I check the forum and i have seen people using reconfigurator.pl to do that. So either way works the same?

Thanks

I do not quite understand how this should be done. So do I do this after the server has been relocated to the new place with new ip? or do i change that and shut down the server and do the relocation?

Sorry if this is a noob question...
