~user works but domain does not

[fuzzie]

http://IP/~user works just fine, but http://domain.com does not.
I have tried:
1. editing httpd.conf making sure the virtual domain is set up right. It is set up like others that are working.
2. making sure /etc/hosts is right.
3. removing and recreating the user under a different user name.
4. restarting apache
5. rebooting
6. Changing permissions, chmod 755
7. Changing ownership chown user:group

My dns points to the right server, and has for about a week.

When I try domain.com, I get the default cPanel index page...there is content in the public_html dir.
Totally at a lost.

I know it is something simple, but it escapes me.

Make sure the NSs are updated with your registrar, and set in the DNS zone of that site. Take a look at the DNS zone of this domain and make sure the entries are correct. Get detailed information about this domain at: www.dnsreport.com

That all seems to be fine.

I think in trying to fix the permissions, I screwed up httpd.conf.

Can you post the domain entry from httpd.conf over here.

sure....

VirtualHost entry seems to be all correct as well as the domain is pointing to the correct IP. This is not a DNS propagation problem. It has to be in the configuration file. Have you added the NameVirtualHost entry for the IP 68.54.178.42 in httpd.conf ?

[fuzzie]

It's in there...

NameVirtualHost 68.54.178.42:80

As you havent received any error its difficult for people here to give you the exact solution. I suggest you to ask someone to look into your server and check all the entries once again.

Thanks for the insight. I fixed this. I moved the server inside a firewall, and port forwarded to the private IP. WHM was still set at the public IP, which broke the httpd.conf file.

Changed httpd.cong to the private IP and works like a charm.
