If you run cPanel servers, then you may at some point experience this issue.

The problem is when you attempt to visit “http://server.example.com/cpanel” and you get the following message or similar:

The requested URL /cpanel was not found on this server.

The requested URL /whm was not found on this server.

To fix this, you must add the following to your httpd.conf (/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf):

ErrorDocument 400 /400.shtml
ErrorDocument 401 /401.shtml
ErrorDocument 403 /403.shtml
ErrorDocument 404 /404.shtml
ErrorDocument 500 /500.shtml

Add this anywhere in the httpd.conf, outside of any <VirtualHost> tags.

Restart apache (service httpd restart), and bingo!
