On a cPanel server, you need to access your domain temporarily – this can be achieved by

http://your-server-ip/~cPanel-username/

But, when tried this it shows:

404 page
The server can not find the requested page:
Server-IP/~cPanel-username/ (port 80)
Please forward this error screen to server.hostname.com’s WebMaster.

The fix for this is, login to WHM.
Under Security > Security center > Apache mod_userdir Tweak

You may see the checkbox (Enable mod_userdir Protection) ticked, uncheck it and save.

Now, try accessing the temporary URL. It should work.
