Removing a default domain from one of your IP addresses in Plesk

Once you have set a domain to be the default domain for a specific IP address in Plesk, you will not be able to deselect that particular domain. At this point you only have the option of switching the IP address to another domain on your server.

If you would like to do this there is a solution using MySQL commands. You can manually set the default_domain_id to zero for a specific IP address directly in the Plesk database. Make sure to replace IPADDRESS with your address.

# mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` -Dpsa -e “UPDATE IP_Addresses SET default_domain_id = 0 WHERE ip_address = ‘IPADDRESS’;”

The following command will remove the default domain setting for all IP addresses:

# mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` -Dpsa -e “UPDATE IP_Addresses SET default_domain_id = 0;”

Then you need to use the command ‘websrvmng’ to apply changes:

# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -a -v

Removing a mail server from the Spamhaus PBL

How to check if your IP is listed.

http://www.spamhaus.org/lookup.lasso

Spamhaus assists Internet service providers with preventing unsolicited email (spam) from passing through their mail servers. One of the tools Spamhaus employs is a “Policy Block List” (PBL) that lists addresses that get assigned to customers of dial-up, broadband, and hosting service providers. Those addresses are then blocked by default and have to be manually removed from the list when someone has a legitimate need to use one of those addresses to run a mail server (as many Slicehost customers do). It is therefore likely that a new slice, or one that hasn’t been used as a mail server before, will be on the Spamhaus PBL.

Being on the PBL doesn’t mean your address is blocked for spamming. The list is only there as a precaution against potential abuse. Spamhaus applies this policy to any IP addresses that could change hands from one customer to another. Their goal is to prevent computers that should not be sending email directly from being able to do so if they are compromised in some way.

Try removing –with-openssl from your configure.php file and recompile php.

cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache

vi configure.php

#remove –with-openssl from the file, save, exit.

Removing Reseller’s Access to Server’s Shared IP in DirectAdmin

As an Admin, you can give Resellers the ability to create User web sites using the Server’s Shared (main) IP address. At this time, you cannot remove this ability through the control panel.

To solve the problem manually, remove the desired IP address from the ip.list file in the Reseller’s DirectAdmin config directory

Reseller’s DirectAdmin config directory

/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/username/ip.list

This change will not affect the Reseller’s current Users (if they are using the server’s main IP, they will continue to do so.

To view the IP addresses you have at your disposal:

Go to Home > IP Addresses (in the Server group).

To add a new IP address to the server:

Go to Home > IP Addresses (in the Server group) and click Add IP Address.

To remove an IP address from the server:

Go to Home > IP Addresses (in the Server group).
Select the respective check box and click Remove, confirm removal and click OK.

To assign an IP address to a user:

Go to Home > IP Addresses (in the Server group) and click the respective number in the Clients column, then click Assign.
Select the user account you need and click OK.

Select the network interface for the new IP from the Interface drop-down box. All network cards installed on your server are shown in this drop-down box.

To change an IP address allocation type (shared, exclusive) or assign another SSL certificate to an IP address:

Go to Home > IP Addresses (in the Server group) and click the IP address you need.
Select the IP address allocation type and SSL certificate you need, and click OK.

When you obtain a new IP address that you would like to use on the server, you should add the address through the control panel, as Parallels Plesk Panel might not recognize manual modifications you make to the network configuration files.

With Parallels Plesk Panel you can mark all your IP addresses as shared or dedicated before you assign them to your customers. This allows the control panel to distinguish between them and not to let you assign a dedicated IP address to several customers at once. A dedicated IP address can be assigned to a single customer, while a shared IP address can be shared among several user accounts.
