How to setup Website on the IP address

[Administrator]

You can also setup website on the IP address but this is not recommended since here are important server applications like (webmail, FTP, phpMyAdmin...)

Instructions
- Upload files to folder: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/
- Change permissions on all files to user nobody using the following command

Code Select Expand

chown -R nobody.nobody /usr/local/apache/htdocs/

If you need to use a database, you can create it using CWP.admin --> MySQL Manager or phpMyAdmin.

Any other insights as to what can be the cause of this?
I have already attempted the suggested recommendation.

what is the issue ?

Sorry plesae disregard. I already got my vhosts to map properly. It was an issue between the public and private IP address I have with AWS EC2 instance. Both mapping the vhost to a wildcard IP or assigning the hostname IP for the vhost to the ""Private" rather than the public IP mapped the domain properly to the redirected user folder.

how can i just redirect my main IP to my existing vhost.

documentroot = /usr/local/apache/htdocs/

i have changed it to "/home/USERNAME/public_html"

but still it wont redirect to my vhost.

you would need to edit the apache configuration files but with suPHP & suExec this isn't the easy task so its recommended to check on that with your sysadmin.

since you need custom settings you will need to test them by yourself or get someones support

So last night my addon domain /www/myusername/public_html/myaddondomain.com was resolving fine.

Then I uploaded my main domain files directly into the public_html directory.  And of course, I updated my nameservers with registrar last night for my main domain to point to digitalocean.  And I added another dns record for my main domain at the digitocean control panel.  Now none of my domains are resolving on that droplet.

Any ideas what I did wrong?

you can use leafdns.com for live dns testing or check it with your server admin.

That produced some scary results.  A very useful website that I have never heard of.

What aspect of your .htaccess is not working? Something specific to WordPress?
