SOLVED After Cpanel installation web page files redirecting to 404

[sujeeshsh]

Hi,

Successfully installed cpanel, after intallation database and files uploaded. When i tried to open ip-addess/filename(eg: uploaded test.php file and tried to access with IP - http://117.XXX.XX.XX/test.php ) it is showing default cPanel 404 page. Checked the case with .htaccess file and Basic WebHost Manager® Setup settings. Still same issue exists.
I have attached the screenshot.
Please help to resolve this.

Thank you,
Sujeesh S

Unless you have the site assigned to a dedicated IP, that's not going to work. By default the main IP is shared, so Apache does not know what site you want. If it's a shared IP, edit your computers local host file and put an entry in for the site. Just remember to remove it when you are done. On Windows the host file will be in \Windows\System32\Drivers\etc The hosts file is just a text file, but you'll need to edit the admin file with administrator permissions.

You just add a line at the bottom like:

177.##.##.## example.com www.example.com

That tells your computer to override DNS and go to 177.##.##.## for example.com and www.example.com

Depending on your server's configuration, you may also be able to visit ipaddress/~username, where "username" is simply the username of the cPanel account you're working with.

However, the solution provided by @ffeingol provides a better testing experience in the browser.
