Hi everyone!

I'm trying to add a reseller with a shared IP (not the server one).
  1. Few days ago, I started a new DA server and assigned it a FailOver IP. My license is for my server IP (license linked to the server only), so I configured every services to run with the FailOver IP instead of switching IP.
  2. I migrated 3 cPanel accounts to test the process (a lot of pleasure, was so easy!!).
  3. Then I followed these instructions: https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=2897
  4. Here is what I see on the admin reseller view: DA-H-1.png
  5. Back to admin view, I tried to add a reseller account, and it failed:DA-H-2.png

My aim for now is to use only my FailOver IP, everywhere, and for everything.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks!
 
Does anyone have an idea?
I can't find any other post similar to my problem :/

Thanks!
 
Your first screen shot does not show any free ips. The ips have to be marked as "free" in order to be able to assign them.
 
Ok!
So, I finally got around the problem by:
  1. Routing outgoing traffic from the server's main IP to my FailOver IP;
    Bash:
    iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o *INTERFACE* -j SNAT --to-source *IP_FAILOVER*
  2. Buying a DA license for my FailOver IP;
  3. Swapping the IP from DA to my FailOver IP (https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=250).
However, I would have liked to understand how to make it work without having to do it like this ...
Too bad...
