[SOLVED] Changing IP

[Barrett]

I have done a bunch of searches this morning and not found the answer. I needed to change the IP of my Zimbra server. So I edited /etc/network/interfaces & /etc/hosts. I updated my DNS and MX records over 48 hours ago so I know they have propagated. I can send mail fine but any mail receive throws this error in the log:

I have edited out the to and from addresses as well as any other personally identifiable info so it looks a little strange. The problem lies with the following bit of the message.

(delivery temporarily suspended: connect to mail.mydomain.com[192.168.200.25]: Connection timed out

This is my old IP address. It should read 192.168.32.244. I just don't know where it is finding this. Any help is appreciated. Unfortunately my only Linux / Zimbra experience has been setting this up. If more information would be helpful I will get it.


Ubuntu-6.06
Zimbra-4.5.8
This is running as a virtual server on Windows 2003 with bridged networking. Static external IP

Have you restarted the Zimbra services since the IP change?

[y@w]

Also, welcome to the forums!

[Barrett]

Yes several times. I have restarted the server as well. Everything comes up properly and all services are running. There has to be some other location that the IP is stored that it is pulling it from.

[y@w]

Can you please post the output of an ifconfig and your /etc/hosts file? Also, do you get the correct IP when you dig the hostname directly from the server?

[Barrett]

Thanks for the welcome and willingness to help. I don't know how to pull the text output so i grabbed screenshots. Ifconfig & hosts look OK but dig shows the issue:

Sorry if this duplicates the posts. It wouldn't post with the images in the body.

You need to modify the DNS records to point to the new server IP.

[Barrett]

Good call. I found that I needed to edit the /etc/bind/db.ats8.com file. I changed it to reflect the new address and did a reboot. I just got the first wave of mail that I have missed over the past few days. The first try antntivirus did not load properly, but after another quick restart it looks like all is well. Thanks Phoenix & y@w!

Glad you've fixed it.

If you need to copy any text from a terminal window just left-click and drag the mouse to highlight a bunch of text, you can then right-click to copy/paste that text. It saves you having to do a screen capture but that works just as well.
