I hope someone can answer me where my issue is or how to fix it.

I noticed that one of our servers there is no way to see how your site looks before the DNS goes through.

This is for an example in the WHM under list accounts section

http://69.16.197.15/~tassie/
that works and you can see, the site like that (the dns works for this one)

What i am talking about, lets say this example

http://206.251.77.69/~t4yreiki/

It does not work......

Any ideas what i need to do on the server?

It sounds like the Apache mod_userdir option is not enabled on the server where you are unable to view the account via the IP address. Try this, log into WHM and click on Security Center then click on Apache mod_userdir Tweak.

Check: [x] Enable mod_userdir Protection
Check: [x] DefaultHost (nobody) (Exclude Protection)

Click the Save button at the very bottom of the page and try again?

Cool the only thing I did not have ticked was

Check: [x] DefaultHost (nobody) (Exclude Protection)

Thanks that has worked for me...
