New accounts serving default "great success" page from /usr/local/apache/htdocs

[Araunah]

I've just started with WHM/cPanel, and to my knowledge all I need to do to add accounts is use the "Create a New Account" tool in WHM. For some reason though, all the accounts I create show the "Great Success!" page, despite there being files in the account's root directory (/home/account/public_html)

When I use tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log and request a random file on the domain, I get this:

script '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/index.php' not found or unable to stat
File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/sadfadfa

What could be causing this? The domain is resolving to the correct IP, but apache is looking in the wrong directory for my files.

Did you create a package and give that new account that package?

I was under the impression that it just gave a default set of settings if no package was specifically set, so I didn't, but just now I manually created a package with all the default settings and gave it to the account, but no change. Still the same welcome page.

To make this even more puzzling, here's the relevant entry in httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost 1.1.1.1:80>
ServerName thedomain.com
ServerAlias www. thedomain.com
DocumentRoot /home/thedomain/public_html
ServerAdmin webmaster@ thedomain.com
## User theuser # Needed for Cpanel::ApacheConf
<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_UserGroup theuser theuser
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_disable_suexec.c>
SuexecUserGroup theuser theuser
</IfModule>
CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/thedomain.com-bytes_log "%{%s}t %I .\n%{%s}t %O ."
CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/thedomain.com combined
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/thedomain/public_html/cgi-bin/
</VirtualHost>

Just in case I'm not the only moron here, this was the problem:

1.1.1.1 was the default in WHM for the IP of the new account, I figured the default would work (as some kind of localhost thing) but apparently not. Changed it to one of my actual IPs, and voila
