Changing DocumentRoot of all sites

[Thiago Moreira]

Changing DocumentRoot of all sites and leave as default DocumentRoot below:

/public_html

to

/public_html/www

www is DocumentRoot of all sites.

My apache server is 2.4, tutorials here forums cpanel not working.

Hello,

You can modify the document root for a domain name by editing the "documentroot" entry in the appropriate cPanel user data file:

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

Then, rebuild the Apache configuration file via:

/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf

You will need to develop a script that completes this action for all accounts, and runs automatically when new accounts are created, if you prefer to automate this functionality.

Thank you.

I believe you do not understand, let's go.

In my hosting use mainly laravel, and would leave already configured that each account created apache make reading the DocumentRoot in public_html/www

Would it automatically, every account created a template for this was generated.

I have changed the /root/ cpanel3-skel/public_html to automatically create the www folder and with the necessary access, could understand?

Thank you very much.

Hello,

I believe this is the document you are seeking if you want to edit the default Apache template:

Custom Templates - EasyApache - cPanel Documentation

There's also a thread here that discusses such as change:

DocumentRoot and htttpd.conf

Thank you.

Hello @hrace009,

We do have a feature request opened to allow users to update the document root for the primary domain name associated with the account through cPanel:

Allow users to change the DocumentRoot

I encourage you to open a new feature request if you'd like to see the ability for administrators to change the default document root for new accounts via an option in Web Host Manager:

Submit A Feature Request

Thank you.
