If we are changing the main IP of a server installed with Vesta panel, we can use the following script to make the IP changes in the Apache configuration, DNS and other required files. Please use the following steps:

touch /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-change-server-ip

chmod 0755 /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-change-server-ip

nano /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-change-server-ip

Then paste the following code:

#!/bin/sh

#script to change ips on a VestaCP server.
#usage:
# $0 <oldip> <newip>

LOG=/var/log/vesta/system.log

MYUID=`/usr/bin/id -u`
if [ "$MYUID" != 0 ]; then
        echo "You require Root Access to run this script";
        exit 0;
fi

if [ $# != 2 ] && [ $# != 3 ]; then
        echo "Usage:";
        echo "$0 <oldip> <newip> [<file>]";
        echo "you gave #$#: $0 $1 $2 $3";
        exit 0;
fi

echo "*** Done swapping $OLD_IP to $NEW_IP ***";

Then run the following command:

v-change-server-ip <OLDIP> <NEWIP>

Here replace the old IP and new IP with the actual IP's. Once the script is run from the terminal, you are done.
