Temporary website url /~username

Hi All, I am having a problem with /~username for a temp url for customers. I am currently transferring my clients over to a new server I have setup. I changed the default ip address from the main server ip to a secondary IP. Then I noticed that when I use the /~username I just get a 404 not found page. I then changed the default IP address to my main server IP and it worked again... Then I tried again an hour later and it has stopped working. I have never had this problem with my old server and I need it to work as before I change the nameservers on the domains over to the new server I need to test all the sites to make sure the transferred correctly. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening. I have restarted all the services and the whole server but that did nothing. I have also tried /~username/ but that didn't do anything.

  So I got it fixed, I just compared the two server setups and found that the new server had mod_ruid2 enabled and the old one didn't. I disabled that in the build and it now works. The problem now is, is it bad to not have mod_ruid2 installed?

  Hello, Yes, Mod_Ruid2 is not compatible with Apache Mod_Userdir. This is documented at:
