Multi IP's for single user

as mentioned, ftp and backups/restores being exponentially difficult.

example.. you go to restore the account. You get to select 1 IP... 1 ip is not multiple IPs.

Basically, DA is entirely designed around the single IP per user concept, so to change it would require changes to the entire codebase and logic.

I'll start looking at it more.. I may go about doing it in the single IP sense... that DA assumes everything is on one IP for restores.. and then multi-IP accounts are only done after the account exists, each time the account is setup.

This is still not possible ? I have a few customers (and myself) who need multiple SSL certs on domains currently under one account.

Because I like to keep stuff as standard as possible I don't want to use the described workaround.

Leaves me no other option to create multiple accounts and move the domains (do we have a 'move domain' option yet :-))?
 
Add me to the list - having this feature built into DA would have saved me quite a bit of frustration last night.

One of my clients has two sites that share many files, so we set up the two domains under one account and linked some directories together. When he asked me for an SSL certificate on the second domain that caused some problems because DA can't handle that. I followed John's instructions above, which worked, but he left out one important step. If the IP was not owned before, there may be a virtualhost set up for it in /etc/httpd/conf/ips.conf. If you don't delete that virtualhost section you will get the shared server certificate (which in this case was the snakeoil certificate) instead of the certificate you set up for the domain. More details in this forum thread, and my thanks to floyd for pointing me in the right direction:

I'd like to see this too but for slightly different reasons

I'm not a reseller and I only use one TLD - I do use several subdomains though and all of them are under my one Admin user account

What I'd like to be able to do is assign more than one IP address to that Admin user account and be able to use a separate one for each subdomain

Maybe I'm missing something but at the moment this seems difficult if not impossible to do
 
Does anyone have an updated status on this old thread? I have a customer (end user) with two domains, wishing to have two SSL certs without having to go through the trouble of making them a reseller or creating two accounts.
 
You can do it as a "hack" of an in-place account, but it's not implemented.
Edit:
/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/username/domains/domain.com.conf
and set a new IP there. Issue a user httpd.conf rewrite:
Code: 
echo "action=rewrite&value=httpd&user=[B]bob[/B]" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
You'd of course have to also update the dns manually. Backups wouldn't store seperate IPs.. and this really hasn't been tested so it's "at your own risk".

Complaining it's hard is fine and all but I just watched a customer leave because we were trying to give him a 3rd login and he got fed up with all the logins he had to keep track of/etc and canceled. He had 2 domains he wanted ssl on and a handful of others that were on his original login using the shared server ip. He was planning on having at least 3 more active shopping carts with SSL within a few weeks and the thought of 6 logins drove him over the edge and onto a Cpanel host.

I see that "hack" but I am loathe to try it since I know how often some "change" in the future will nullify my pretty little manually added changes.

So yes add my vote for this feature.
 
I'll second that. I haven't lost any customers, but there are two that I have to handle completely manually, where they call me up and I make all the changes for them in whichever account is appropriate. I tried giving them access to two accounts, and they were confused and angry that it wasn't all in one place.

From a customer's point of view, it stinks.
 
I agree with Gary here, there is no reason to have it so customers can not have multiple ips. I have to have multiple logins myself because I have three websites with ssl and it is ridiculous.
 
Is there something wrong with giving them reseller access?

What they're trying to do, run multiple Magento storefronts using a single Magento install requires some MAJOR root intervention to get it to work on 2 user logins, but on a single login with all the domains under the one /home/user? easy peasy.

Apparently OTHER hosts who don't use DA "it's not this much trouble" on so they walk.
 
As a NOC admin of years and new user to DA years of use of other cp's I was amazed to find that I cannot assign multiple ips to a single user.

I have read the post up and down and just want to add my 2cents.

1- whatever the reason if the customer wants it they are right. It's justified under this or that makes no sense to argue, justified or not if the customer wants it then they are right.
2- the mess that is being talked about "making the user cp harder to use" is complete rubish 2 pages worth of code and it's done.
3- If you can't do backups because it will not recognize this method for now, then write up a page stating use as is. this is a much better way of handling the situation rather than as stated "hacking" the system.

to sum things up, folks arguing on why its relevant to some and not to others has what given this post a couple of years of accomplishing nothing.

Obviously some need this option, so let's see if we can get this done right??

This is my problem described above here...

I'm leaving my dedicated server at my current provider and moving to a hoster with another panel....
 
I'm not sure why you're posting here if you're moving away from DirectAdmin. Do you have a question or a point?

The point must be:

Maybe to repeat the question why DA doesn't support it after 4 years of asking ;). With IPv6 coming DirectAdmin already need to go to the "more IP's per user" concept. Why don't do it now, support IPv6 and make money out of it (with being the first CP supporting IPv6)
