    Default Domain Points to Wrong Location

    I set up a dedicated server and have access through WHM.

    I created a new hosting account and uploaded my files via FTP to the correct directory. Now, the url --- http://IP-address.com/~accountName --- shows the uploaded files correctly... but the domain name does not.

    The DNS info is correct because the domain is pointing to our machine now.

    However, I am getting this message: "Great Success! Apache is working..."

    What do I look for to correct the error?

    I tried adding two more accounts and get the same result.

    Please make sure that you have uploaded a index page in your domain. Also, are there two index files like index.html and index.htm?

    Check apache configuration file at "/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf" for virtualhost entry of your domain and make sure that your domain is pointing to the correct directory.

    If there are two files like index.html and index.htm then only one will be loaded without any problem according to Indexes option.
