When I access WHM of a server, I got the following error message
<pre>
HTTP error 401
You do not have permission to access this page.

This is because WHM access is disabled using <a href="https://docs.cpanel.net/whm/security-center/host-access-control/">Host Access Control</a>.
To access WHM, I edit filed
<pre>
vi /etc/hosts.allow 
</pre>
Added my IP address to whostmgrd entries.
<pre>
whostmgrd : 12.38.22.16 : allow
whostmgrd : 51.38.246.115 : allow
whostmgrd : ALL : deny
