Forgive the newbieness of this question, but I am very new to DA. I did do a search and could not find what I was looking for.

Our DA box has one user and about 6 sites. We need to assign a separate IP to one of the sites so we can install an SSL certificate. It looks like we need to create a new user in order to give it a different IP as it looks like each user is limited to one IP. However, when we go to create a new user, it wants the domain for that user, but the domain is already set up, so I assume that I cannot put the same domain in again.

So, how do I go about changing an existing site's IP address so I can get an SSL cert installed?

Thanks!
 
Create the new user with the domain example.com. Login as that user and delete the domain afterward.

If you have root access to the server you can use the mv_domain script to move it from one user to another.

Be aware that this will not move any databases since databases are not tied to domains.

Excellent, thank you. That does make sense. However, I was not able to locate a mv_domain script (yes I have root access) I used slocate but there is no file on the server called mv_domain. Google did not give me any help either. Where do I get this script?

OK, just one more question. When I assign the IP to the new user, its different. When I run the move script, will that change the site's ip? Or is that a separate step? Or should I set up the new user with the same ip, move the domain and then change the IP for that user?
 
Setup the new user with or without a different IP#; it doesn't matter. After the domain is set up on the new user, if you haven't already given it the new IP#, do it at this point.
