hyde Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Is it possible to have my main domain in a sub-directory under public_html, instead of the root of public_html? So instead of: /public_html/index.html /public_html/[addon domain]/index.html Have this: /public_html/[main domain]/index.html /public_html/[addon domain]/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 There needs to be one domain pointing to your public_html folder. This does not stop you from doing this though: public_html/index.html [addon domain]/index.html The recommended url is not the one you need to use. When you create an add-on domain you can remove the public_html portion from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyde Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I think I see what you're saying. I assume then I could also just do something like this: /public_html/index.html /addondom/[addon domain 1]/index.html /addondom/[addon domain 2]/index.html Leaving the main domain the way it is, but making a new root folder called "/addondom", and just setting the addon pointers accordingly in cpanel.

Tony Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Exactly. Sorry I mis typed it before it should have been public_html/index.html [addon domain]/index.html You could break it down more like you suggested to. Totally up to you my point was you do not need to have the add-on domains in your public_html folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprodigy Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 There needs to be one domain pointing to your public_html folder Does this mean we can't rename the public_html folder to something different, then create a symbolic link named public_html to point to where we want it to go? The server would still point to public_html, but since it would be a symbolic link, it would point to where we would like to store our files. I attached a zipped folder that contains a pdf of the way I like to use as a folder structure. It keeps everything nicely organized and contained. Do we have permission to alter the public_html folder in the way I described? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
