Access subdomain folder directly from IP address

2

I have server located under X.Y.Z.C IP address. It runs Apache2. I've added additional domain to it, let us call it A. When I want to add something to it, I have to send files to A subdirectory in public_html. However I want to test my website, before I change DNSes to my server. My question is: how can I access files of domain A? I tried to visit http://X.Y.Z.C/A/ but met "404" error. How can I access folder of my domain directly from IP address? Of course IP is different than X.Y.Z.C and domain isn't "A".

Veru first thing you need to check is the DocumentRoot for X.Y.Z.C. You can check it in the apache conf file. Then for eg. you find it to be /home/xyz/public_html/any_folder, you would need to place the sub-directory inside /home/xyz/public_html/any_folder. Then you can try checking http://x.y.z.c/A/.

If this does not help, please check the apache error logs and post it here.

I am really sorry, I was wrong. I dont have access to shell. My server/hosting is provided by Hetzner... I do not have any way to check this... – TN888 – 2015-02-23T11:17:15.613

Do you have access to cPanel? – S R – 2015-02-23T11:22:40.690

Yes I do have it – TN888 – 2015-02-23T11:29:43.253

Visit http://x.y.z.c/A/ & check the error log from cpanel. Let me know what it says.
