Anyone know how to setup an alias record so I can access my sites prior to dns being updated?
somethign like http://ip/website.com etc...
Full Version: alias
Hi
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for - but it worked for me.
In httpd.conf I commented out UserDir disable and uncommented UserDir public_html (Apache 2, don't know about 1.3):
I can now access my sites using http://ip/~username where username is the user "assigned" to the domain of the site I want to look at. The above assumes the web site is stored in /home/username/public_html

By default that is usually already done (well, on apache 1.3 (I didn't think cpanel worked too well with apache 2 
))
So http://ip/~username/ should already work for you. (don't forget the trailing slash, depending on your setup it won't work without it)
