I had a problem accessing DA after doing an IP address change on my server.

I was just about to contact tech support but I decided to try one last thing, I had my .16 IP configured on eth1 and .17 IP configured on eth0

My DA license is on the .17 IP that was on eth1

This was working fine before I did the IP swap. Afterwords DA would start but I could not access it on port 2222.

Tried everything I could find on the Ip swap instructions and the forums here. Nothing worked.

I switched eth0 to the .17 IP and eth1 to .16

Right after that I could access DA on 2222 and everything was fine.

Before this I could access the server on both IP addresses and get into webmin on both IPs so I know both nics/IPs were up

I do not know if this would or could help anyone else but it worked for me.:D

You could check in the '/usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf' if you changed

* I'm not sure if that also means that ethX is your license IP.

ethernet_dev=eth0 changed to ethernet_dev=eth1

This works. After my server rebooted it returned to the former config and I could not get into DA again. After I edited this file and restarted DA all was well.
