I had no problems with this until recently, I noticed this by accident.
I have 3 IPs, 1 server (admin) and 2 shared (2 resellers). Few weeks ago I deleted a domain on a shared IP. Thought nothing of it, but now when I go to that IP (or domain, the DNS is still live), it gives a 403 page :confused: - I haven't touched the ips.conf template at all and I can see an index.html in the sharedip folder.

The other IPs show the correct index pages.

Any ideas?

Note: https://IP works! :confused:

So you are saying that if we go to the domain we will get a 404 error and if we go to the ip we will get the shared ip message?

We need the domain and ip so we can check it.
 
heres the IP that gives a 403:

87.98.250.196

server1# ls -l /home/lawshost/domains/sharedip
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1454 2009-02-04 18:41 404.shtml

even with chowned to lawshost, still a 403


Heres the IP that works (same server, different reseller):

87.98.254.66

server1:/# ls -l /home/lawshost2/domains/sharedip

Also what is the permissions of the directory itself?

Code: 
ls -ld /home/lawshost/domains/sharedip
 
its just home.log, but that doesn't tell me anything, and the default error.log just lists non-existant requests attempts.

What is weird is that https: works! I dont get it?

Is there any way to check what documentroot the IP is using, via ssh or something. It's obviously not using the default in ips.conf.

I also asked John via safe submit about this

Not sure what you mean by default. You should have an entry similar to this:

<VirtualHost x.x.x.x:80>
ServerName shared.domain
ScriptAliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)/+cgi-bin/+(.*) /home/$1/public_html/cgi-bin/$2
AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/.*)* /home/$1/public_html$2
DocumentRoot /home/admin/domains/sharedip

User admin
Group admin

CustomLog /var/log/httpd/homedir.log homedir
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log
</VirtualHost>

x.x.x.x will need to be 87.98.250.196. I added ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log myself. You can do the same.

I mean to see if its really going to:

DocumentRoot /home/lawshost/domains/sharedip

I mean, it at least should display index.html as it's in that directory

I added it but no errors crop up...... :confused:

Unless theres some hidden redirection going on...... I'm really perplexed at this. lol
 
Make sure ips.conf is listed in httpd.conf

I am running out of options.

Its not, but I don't think it ever was? Even so, my other shared IP would fail, wouldn't it.

I'm running out of ideas too

I might ask John to ssh in n have a look for me - I do have this option don't I, I bought my licence outright?

If John doesn't then I would be willing to look at it, but only if it is a RedHat based system. It would be a lot faster than what I am doing now.
 
John fixed it.......and it was my error...... an include was in the wrong place in httpd.conf, he moved it & all is fine.
