whm/apache configuration?..problem

[bigpy2003]

Alright,

I have added a site to my WHM...the domain it was set to has yet to propegate, however, i goto..

http://myipaddress/~username

the script uses PHP's $DOCUMENT_ROOT variable. Anyhow, it's trying to access my "main" site's folder...how do i fix this?

Is "myipaddress" the IP you've assigned the domain?

Presuming that it is, try again but with:

http://myipaddress/~username/

Note the trailing slash

Yes I've tried that. Doesnt work.

Warning: main(/home/square/public_html/functions.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xec96/public_html/header.php on line 3

Is just one of the errors that I am getting.

The reseller is 'root'...just in case that might help

I'm currently moving about a hundred sites to a server at the moment and see this type of thing. It usually boils down to the scripts accessing an absolute URL from the top of the domain.

So, to access bob.php at the top of the site, the calling script references:

/bob.php

Of course, using mod_user, this rewrites your crafted URL of:

http://myipaddress/~username/callingscript.php

to:

http://myipaddress/bob.php

myipaddress will then resolve to the first site listed in httpd.conf (usually your site since it's the first one you create), hence the problem.

If it's that, there's nothing you can do about it except wait out the propagation.

We sidestepped this a little by reducing all the DNS TTL's down to 1 hour prior to moving and then restoring them to default, but that's little help to you now
