Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Website on an IP

[Gambit06]

Hi there, i have just purchased my first server, its setup to use WHM and cpanel.

I was wondering how i can setup and account so that when i navigate to the main IP. It comes up with a webpage. Right now i get a webpage saying:

You are seeing this page because there is nothing configured for the site you have requested. If you think you are seeing this page in error, please contact the site administrator or datacenter responsible for this site.

I have tried to setup an IP account in WHM with no domain. But it simply tells me that the blank domain is not valid.

I'm a complete n00b at this so please be gentle

Thanks

You need to alter your httpd.conf file.

You should find something like this in the file:

<VirtualHost **YOUR IP**>
ServerAlias **YOUR DOMAIN **YOUR DOMAIN**
ServerAdmin **YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS**
DocumentRoot /home/*YOUR USERNAME**/public_html
BytesLog domlogs/*YOUR DOMAIN**-bytes_log
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/**USERNAME**/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp"
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir disabled
UserDir enabled *username*
</IfModule>
ServerName **DOMAIN NAME**
User *username*
Group *username*
CustomLog domlogs/*domain* combined
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/*username*/public_html/cgi-bin/
</VirtualHost>


Where it says **YOUR DOMAIN **YOUR DOMAIN**

Type:
your ip www.yourdomain.com yourdomain.com

So it should look something like this:
123.23.12.123 www.domain.com domain.com
