Discussion of cpanel10 upgrade on 2/1/06

[AndrewT]

Ok, I think my sites are fine after the move.

Couple of questions.

How do I access the old and new servers without going through the domain names? Are these correct (of course updating with the actual username):

http://cpanel10.gzo.com/~username/

http://cpanel38.gzo.com/~username/

Are there any advantages to changing my DNS servers to:

dns75.gzo.com
dns76.gzo.com

Or should I leave them as the old DNS servers (which seem to be working)?

Thanks for the new server and all of your work with the transfer Andrew and co!

Yes, those are the correct URLs. Your DNS is fine as is if you never entered an IPs and are using dns19/dns20. Though in the future it may be less confusing for you if you simply change them to dns75/dns76 but doing this wouldn't cause any downtime.

If we are currently getting the cpanel10 server when we go to www.domainname.com/cpanel (as opposed to the one accessible from WHM on cpanel38) do we need to update our DNS entries?

I can't recall if at any time I entered manual IP addresses, but I noticed the difference because I changed my cpanel skin in WHM and when going to domainname.com/cpanel the old skin shows, but accessing it from WHM shows the new skin, different versions of software, etc.

DNS will take time to propagate depending on your ISP. It may not have transfered yet. But my previous statements still stand, you need to check that you are using dns19/dns20 and have never entered an IPs at your registrar.

University for an ISP, so who knows how long it'll take to update. Registered the domain originally with Godaddy when I created the dathorn account, currently it only lists 19/20 and I don't see a way of checking whether or not an IP was entered.

You said it would not cause any additional downtime to migrate the ips to the new DNS entries, right?

If no IPs are listed then you don't have anything to worry about. But changing from dns19/dns20 to dns75/dns76 will not cause any downtime.

Is there a way to access the cpanel10 e-mail server through IMAP? If not IMAP, any other ways?

I think I'm missing e-mails between the last time I checked and the time the server changeover took place.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Use cpanel10.gzo.com as the server.

Use cpanel10.gzo.com as the server.

Thanks Andrew. I just recovered 92 e-mails. Whew!

Thanks for all your quick support responses Andrew, I changed the dns to 75/76 anyhow and just checked cpanel again and it shows the cpanel38 system.
