A few questions on setup

[tomwelch]

Hi again

Just had 3 last questions regarding setup. Please excuse my noobness I've only ever used CPanel as a reseller before!

I have a bunch of 6 IP addresses.

.1 Server and NS1 and server's domain
.2 NS2
.3 other sites (shared IP)

Is this the best way to go about things? By default I noticed that the shared IP is the same as the server....

Second(ish) question...

If I go to .3 in a web browser I get one of my hosted sites... this is why i put my domain on the same ip as the server. If i go to .2 i get a CPanel page saying there is no site configured at this address. can I do that for .3??? Surly its not fair one of my users gets their site on .3....

Third question...

Is there any way of seeing an account's website without going through a domain? I know on my old host I use to be able to do this for example:
http://tempurl.domain.com/~username

Thanks in advance guys!

Do this way :-
1st answer :-
.1 >> ServerIp as a Shared IP and as NS1 Ip
.2 >> NS2

2nd answer :-
If you want to set the default cpanel page for .3, set the VirtualHost entry for that ip in httpd.conf and set the Document Root as /usr/local/apache/httpdocs

3rd answer :-
If you wish to view your domain name using username like :- http://tempurl.domain.com/~username, you can do that from WHM. Login to WHM >> Security >> Tweak Seurity >> mod_user Tweak.

The Default Document Root should set to : /usr/local/apache/htdocs and not to
/usr/local/apache/httpdocs as posted by "Shekhar"
