I want my CPanel clients to be able to view their site before the DSN info propagates.

I searched this forum and found that serverip/~user should work

But I get this error message 511:

Access Not Allowed from this Domain
You are attempting to access a user dir from a domain that is not owned by the user. Please correct the domain that you are attempting to use to access this url.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/1.3.27 Server at plain.rackshack.net Port 80


I have tried
http://serverip/~user
and
http://hostname.host.com/~user

Both got the same error message.

Can anyone please help me

Have you tried this:
http://hostname.host.com/~user/

Note the trailing slash.

Tried that... same 511 Error

Did you enable the mod_userdir tweak in the "Tweak Security" settings of WHM?

This will prevent users from having access.

I have WHM 7.2.0 and I don't see Tweak Security

Can you please tell me how to get there...

Thanks

It was the theame I was using.. i changed the theme and there was the Tweak Security

Thanks ramprage

I have it disabled.

But I still get the same error message...

What could be the problem...

I had that same problem, and I hadn't typed in the correct IP number. (I know it's basic, but you might want to double-check for a typo like the wrong number, a comma instead of a dot, etc?)

Also, any is your box reporting as plain.rackshack.net? Wouldn't you have changed that when you set up the box?

Checked that.... but the same error message 511


Could it be a DNS problem.. I remember I searched for this on the forum. Someone said that it could be VHost being not setup correctly.. what is VHost and how do i check if it is setup correctly?

Try restarting apache, if you recently 're-tweaked' the settings.

It's actually a bad idea to allow this type of access -- the bandwidth used is not monitored.

Yea I did restart Apache...

Thank you for all the suggestions

keep'em comming

In your httpd.conf do you have this line?



AddModule mod_userdir.c

Yup I have that

# [WHENEVER YOU CHANGE THE LOADMODULE SECTION ABOVE UPDATE THIS, TOO]
ClearModuleList
AddModule mod_env.c
AddModule mod_log_config.c
AddModule mod_mime.c
AddModule mod_negotiation.c
AddModule mod_status.c
AddModule mod_include.c
AddModule mod_autoindex.c
AddModule mod_dir.c
AddModule mod_cgi.c
AddModule mod_asis.c
AddModule mod_imap.c
AddModule mod_actions.c
AddModule mod_userdir.c

AddModule mod_ssl.c

AddModule mod_frontpage.c
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddModule mod_bwlimited.c
AddModule mod_log_bytes.c
AddModule mod_bwprotect.


This segemnt is also in my httpd.conf... Is this correct:

UserDir public_html

There is an option when you compile apache to turn user directory bandwidt leeching or soemthing...may wanna run easy apache and amke sure that option isnt selected.

friend,.. I ever got this problem also . ;-)

mod_bwprotect will prevent user to access across domain.

Solution:
disable this module by just remove mod_bwprotect from your httpd.conf

change : LoadModule bwprotect_module libexec/mod_bwprotect.so
to: #LoadModule bwprotect_module libexec/mod_bwprotect.so

And

change : AddModule mod_bwprotect.c
to : #AddModule mod_bwprotect.c

then : service httpd restart

Now, it should work..

You are the man rainbows

Now it works thanks everyone especially Rainbows
