How do I enable ~account shortcut?

[Promethyl]

When a new user registers, they normally can view their page through http://myhost.com/~theiraccountname/

However, somehow during the server move, this became disabled. How can I fix it?

Please help me if you know the answer.

Got it.

You cannot define the userdir in the virtual host section of httpd.conf for the domain which is to allow the shortcut.

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir disabled
UserDir enabled promed
</IfModule>

Or from WHM you could simply go
Security>>Tweak Securitiy>>mod_userdir Tweak

This does allow users to circumvent your bw quotas (read steal bandwidth)

Yeah, I just need something to use until their domain starts resolving. I wonder If I could trigger a PHP program to remove the enable lines from their vhost after 72 hours...

I have a lot of domains that are registered and resolve almost immediately. I would not get all that worried about it. If they need access that bad, create a custom "hosts" file for them with a macro to install it

Security>>Tweak Securitiy>>mod_userdir Tweak

Under cPanel 11, it's
Security>> Security Center>>Apache mod_userdir Tweak
