Disallow accessing sites via server IP?

[postcd]

How to disallow accessing cpanel hosted files via server IP, like for example:
http://mywhmserverIP/~lwogjdkug/ABC/cgi-bin/something/123/
and require access via domain names assigned to particular cpanel?

I would like to set this for all future accounts and preferably also for all existing.

Thank you in advance for help.

Hello

The Apache mod_userdir module allows for visitors to access a user's website via a URL that contains that user's username. You can read about how this feature works (including how to disable it) at:

Apache mod_userdir Tweak - Version 82 Documentation - cPanel Documentation

documentation.cpanel.net

Let me know if this helps.

Thank you.

Thank you for help, it was helpful.
Though note that yours mentioned article mentioned non existing path in my case (WHM76):
"If you attempt to provide protection on a dedicated IP address, the site's contents will still display when protection is enabled. To disable this behavior, open the /etc/apache2/conf.d/includes/post_virtualhost_global.conf file..."
The path that exist in my case is:
/usr/local/apache/conf/includes/post_virtualhost_global.conf
After i added "UserDir disabled" into it and restarting apache, even directory listing become impossible showing 404 error: http://mywhmserverIP/~username/
Before the modification, directory listing was possible and file opening was 404. Now all are 404. Thank you

Hello @postcd,

The documented paths are intended for servers using EasyApache 4. Since you're using cPanel & WHM version 76 (and I presume EasyApache 3), I recommend reverting the changes you made to /usr/local/apache/conf/includes/post_virtualhost_global.conf and then rebuilding the Apache configuration file using the command below:

/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf

Note that cPanel & WHM version 76 is at EOL status:

Reminder: cPanel & WHM Version 76 now EOL | cPanel Newsroom

As of cPanel & WHM Version 78’s move to STABLE on April 8th, cPanel & WHM Version 76 has reached End of Life and will no longer be supported by cPanel except when upgrading to a supported version. In accordance with our EOL policy (https://go.cpanel.net/longtermsupport), 76 will continue...

From a security perspective, it's imperative that you update cPanel & WHM to a supported version as soon as possible.

Let us know if there's anything we can do to help with the upgrade process.

Thank you.
