Reserved IPs Editor

Apache, by default, is configured to respond to any request on any IP address you have added to the server. Using this feature, you are able to configure Apache to ignore HTTP requests on certain IP addresses, in effect reserving them. This feature is useful if you wish to prevent new accounts from being assigned to certain IP addresses.

Remember: In order to reserve an IP address, it must have already been added to the server. (You can add IP addresses to your server using the WHM Add a New IP Address screen.)

To add an IP to, or remove an IP from, the reserved IP list:

1. Click the Reserved checkbox next to the appropriate IP address.
2. Click Save.

Remember: IPs checked here will not be used by Apache.

After an IP address is added, you will need to rebuild and restart Apache in order for the changes to take effect. You may click the Rebuild Configuration and Restart Apache button on the following page to accomplish this.

If you prefer, you can leave Apache running and and restart it manually at a later, more appropriate time.

To restart Apache manually:

1. Open your command line interface.
2. Type /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart and press the Return key.
   • You will need the root password to use the restart command.
