hi, guys,
I just got a a server up and running, with cpanel.

the namesever is just being setup and not working yet.

I created a new account, let's say http://xxx.250.86.220/~bob

when I access it, it always point to the hostname address http://server.blah.com/~bob, and it's not working.

how can i set it up so http://xxx.250.86.220/~bob works without going to the hostname?

thanks for all your help!!! ;)

Try removing the hostname entry in your httpd.conf file, restart apache and try again.

Try to add a trailing slash to your URL so:

http://xxx.250.86.220/~bob

becomes:

http://xxx.250.86.220/~bob/

I had the same problem with a CPanel box but I'm not sure what I did to fix it. Tell me if it still does the same thing with the slash.

yes, the slash works! thanks illogix

No problem, glad I could help you :D
