cPanel-Account creation failed

Account Creation Status: failed (out of available ip addresses)

Account Creation Status: failed (Your system has run out of available ip addresses, or you do not have permission to use any more ip addresses. (Unable to find an ip address.) )

You receive the “Account Creation Status: failed” error message while adding a domain from WHM >> Account Functions >> “Create a New Account” option which states that there is no free IP address to assign to your new domain.

The package you are using while adding a domain has the “Dedicated IP” option enabled which searches for a free IP on the server and tries to assign to the every new domain you create. To overcome the issue, you will have to deselect the “Dedicated IP” option from the package which can be achieved via ssh.

Edit the package file located under /var/cpanel/packages

# vi /var/cpanel/packages/packagename

Search for

IP=y

and replace it with

IP=n

Rvsitebuilder- How to import projects of "RVsitebuilder" from one server to another

I have moved my domain to new hosting company. I used RVsitebuilder to create my domain in my old hosting provider. After the migration, my domain gives me lot of errors saying that "unable to fetch the file from RVsitebuilder". I need to download the project from my old server. Can any one help me to fix the issue?


Solution:

*Old server details*
Domain:       hemanthworld.com
Username:   hemanth
Password:   qweqwe
IP address:  1.1.1.1
CP:              cPanel

*New server details*
Domain:       hemanthworld.com
Username:   hemanth
Password:   123123
IP address:  2.2.2.2
CP:              Cpanel

1) Login to your server backend.

2) Go to the home directory of your domain.
   - my home dir is /home/hemanth/

3) Now download your RVsitebuilder project from the old server.
   - You can download in any ways. I used ftp download
   - Syntax: wget -r ftp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@IPADDRESS/.rvsitebuilder
   - wget -r ftp://hemanth:qweqwe@1.1.1.1/.rvsitebuilder
   - All the rvsitebuilder files will be downloaded.

4) Check the Rvsitebuilder location.
   - /home/hemanth/.rvsitebuilder

5) You can verify the available projects in WHM.
   - Go to WHM > Plugins >> RVsitebuilder >>> Recovering Project user list
   - We can see username hemanth > 5asd5a65a65ad2a2a6 (This means your RVsitebuilder project is available)
   - In case, if its not listed here. Then check the ownership of the directory and files of .rvsitebuilder
  
6) Now login to your cPanel

7) Go to RVsitebuilder

8) You can see pending projects list.

9) Just select all the projects and click OK

10) Finish, Now your your project is imported.

Note: In case if you have made the domain to be addon domain in the new hosting provider, then import the project in RVsitebuilder and edit the path in that. This will fix the issue.
