I have an issue with setting up the site on cpanel's dedicated ip address with the user extension.
For Eg, http://127.0.0.1/~username/

I am able to access
http://127.0.0.1/~username/install.php
or
http://127.0.0.1/~username/update.php

But can't navigate deeper into drupal's framework. For Eg, http://127.0.0.1/~username/user/
It seems to me Drupal is not taking the "/~username/" into account. Therefore I have tried altering the Base URL in the settings.php to 'http://127.0.0.1/~username' , but it didn't work.
Have also tried googling for this issue, but no luck.

Anyone came across this issue too?

Upload drupal's .htaccess, if it is not there.
Add the following line to .htaccess:

RewriteBase /~username/

This should solve your problem.

Thanks Sudeep!

It worked nicely and I'm able to access the admin menu =)
Though some hard-coded links wouldn't work, which will be fine when I have got the domain hooked on =)

Hope your reply is useful to other lost sheeps like me out there.

I want to do the same on a live site I'm rebuilding on a new server.
I'm going to do an install on a IP address only of which the above information is helpful.
When the site is ready and tested by the client, I want to change the IP address in DNS from the existing old site to this site.
What changes do I need to make in the new site?
