How to to disable the ~username method of vewing a website?

jmlopez · Jul 11, 2016

Hi everyone,

On my hosting I can run this url

my_IP_address/~username

username is the account I created in my hosting control panel. How to disable ~username of viewing a website from the IP address?

Your help is appreciated!

Turn off mod_userdir in apache.

Assuming this is a cPanel server:

Login to WHM

Main > Security Center > Apache mod_userdir Tweak

From here, you can select which accounts you want to enable for mod_userdir

I will check it in my whm. I didn't think it has an option like this in WHM.

its very simple run the below command:

Code:

UserDir disabled

and if you want only specific users to be enabled run the below command.

Code:

UserDir enabled myuser1 myuser2 myuser3

to disable specific users run the command below:

Code:

UserDir disabled myuser1 myuser2 myuser3

Can I run these commands at root?

and it will work for all types of hosting control panel?
