I am trying to move accounts from one serverbeach server to another and have run into a problem I don't quite understand, so hope someone here can point me in the right direction. I am using Knightfoo's Option 1 -- use the Serverbeach DNS only.

Here is an example of what is happening.

Two servers:

server1.grieving.com
bigcat.funeralplanner.net


The domain miserlouband.com was on server1.grieving.com
I moved the account to the new server. I switched the IP address in the SB DNS tool, but it hasn't switched over yet.

If I access the account like so:
http://bigcat.funeralplanner.net/~miserlou/
it resolves to http://bigcat.funeralplanner/~miserlou/public_html
except that at the bottom it says:
Apache/1.3.28 Server at server1.grieving.com Port 80
but it does go to the content that is on that server.


but if I access it without the trailing /
http://bigcat.funeralplanner.net/~miserlou
it resolves to
http://server1.grieving.com/~miserlou/public_html
and accesses the content that is there.

If I try to access an account that is not on server1.grieving.com

http://bigcat.funeralplanner.net/~topcat
without the trailing slash, the page cannot dispay

If I use ~topcat/ it does display the content correctly, except that
Apache/1.3.28 Server at server1.grieving.com Port 80


Any suggestions?
