change public_html folder using a symbolic link ? is that ok ?

[trucmuche]

Hello,

I need to change one user's public_html folder and I would like to be sure that there is no risk with what I did.

I first backed up the current public_html directory using

mv public_html public_html_backup

, I created a folder named 'mynewfolder' then I created a symbolic link :

ln -s mynewfolder public_html

It works but I would like to be sure that this will not be overrided by some daemons or some automatic CPanel checks...

Could you tell me if that's ok ?

Thanks,
T.

Why don't you name the new folder as public_html? Symlink could work fine as you see "www" is a symlink to "public_html" by default.

That's what I was going to point out - "www" is just a symlink already, so there's no problem with doing that at all.
