Thread: I wish to disable the ~username method of vewing a website On Directadmin

For whatever reason, if you wish to not allow the http://1.2.3.4/~username method of viewing a website, you can do so by removing the lines:

PHP Code:

PHP Code:

 AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/.*)* /home/$1/public_html$2 
from the apache VirtualHosts, by editing the templates. 


1) Type:

PHP Code:

PHP Code:

      cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom 
cp ../ips_virtual_host.conf . 
Edit the copied ips_virtual_host.conf file and remove the AliasMatch line.  Also remove the "ScriptAliasMatch" line. 


2) Type:

PHP Code:

PHP Code:

 echo "action=rewrite&value=ips" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue 


3) Edit:

PHP Code:

PHP Code:

 /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf 


and again, remove the AliasMatch line.
