/~user displays 404

[Dev Anthony]

Good morning!

I'm in the process of transferring a website from one server to another. Both servers run DirectAdmin. I have the files and the databases relocated and am trying to test the installation before I monkey with the DNS.

On the new server, I created a new user -

tgp

- to control the site that's moving in. When I navigate to http://server.ip/~tgp, it returns a page not found and additional 404 error. I'm sure I'm missing an obvious step in the process here, but for all my searching I can't figure out what it might be. Any guidance you can offer will be most appreciated.

Thanks!
-Dev

Are you familiar with curl? I like to use curl to test that everything is moved correctly. Using the tilde-user pattern never works well for me.

curl -H "Host: thedomainyourtesting.com" http://server-ip
