apache includes editor

[jimlongo]

Hi, I have an account on which I have a lot of addons and subdomains, and for organization I want to have the main domain in a subfolder of public_html.

I can do this by editing httpd.conf and changing the line in that section from this

<VirtualHost xx.xx.137.162:80>
    ServerName xyz.com
    ServerAlias www.xyz.com
    DocumentRoot /home/xyz/public_html/

. . .

to this

<VirtualHost xx.xx.137.162:80>
    ServerName xyz.com
    ServerAlias www.xyz.com
    DocumentRoot /home/xyz/public_html/xyz

But I understand I should do this in the WHM Apache includes editor instead of directly in the httpd.conf file.

My question is which include file, and what exactly do I put in there. Do I add the whole Virtual Host section with changes?

Thanks,
jim

you need to edit httpd conf and then 'distill' the changes..

Hello

You can change the document root path in the cPanel user data file for the domain name. This is located at:

/var/cpanel/userdata/$username/$domain.com

Look for "documentroot:" and modify it to the new path. Then, save the file and rebuild the Apache configuration file:

# /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf

Thank you.

Thank you.

Do I need to change the scriptalias path: as well.

Thank you.

Do I need to change the scriptalias path: as well.

You only need to change that if the cgi-bin will be utilized in a different location than what's configured by default.

Thank you.
