Hi, i am attempting to install cpanel to later migrate my existing server from a shared hosting to digital ocean, but i followed all this instructions: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-cpanel-on-a-virtual-server-running-centos-6 And the issue is when i attemp to go to https://(siteip):2087 it redirect me to the existing cpanel domain, how i can change this to use the new install in digital ocean from the ip to be able to migrate the existing server?
I created the droplet with same hostname, but what to do now?

Hello, mzuker
cPanel/WHM is also available as one-click install app in our marketplace. You can quickly spin up a cPanel droplet and you’ll be ready to build a new website or migrate any of your existing sites over to the new droplet.
As mentioned cPanel is a third party application managed through our Marketplace. New installations of cPanel come with a 15 day free trial. For further use beyond that point a valid license will need to be purchased directly through cPanel. https://store.cpanel.net/view/cpanel/license-options?type=VPS
Please refer to below link for further details:

Hope this helps! Regards, Alex
Most likely, this is due to you having already set the hostname to to the domain that is currently pointing at you old server. Try running: <br> <br><pre> <br>hostname your.ip.address <br></pre> <br> <br>That should allow you to access it for now. Just remember to reset that once you’ve re-pointed the DNS to the new server.
Still not working 107.170.18.7:2087 <br>And i already set hostname 107.170.18.7:2087 in SSH
