I created a test web site on my VPS, and like before, the way I would get to it was onsen.ca/~sitename . However this resulted in an error message “No input file specified. ”
Googling the problem resulted in no solution. Several site installs also resulted in no solution.
So I decided to try an older test site (djhanged) which I used to access at onsen.ca/~djhanged. It also didn’t work. This must be something to do with the DNS entries.
So I decided to use the VPS IP instead of onsen.ca. It worked.
I can now again access my test sites.
