/home and /home2 + Symlinks

Hello,

The symbolic links are not absolutely required, and you can remove them if you prefer. Keep in mind their purpose is to ensure hard-coded paths (e.g. /home/user/public_html/cronjob.php) continue to work after rearranging the account. There's generally no downside to leaving the symbolic links in-place.

Thank you.

 

1. You can force the use of "/home1" as part of the account creation, but only by disabling the "Additional home directories matching the following value will also be used for new home directory creations. (Leaving this value blank disables the feature.) This option only takes one value." option by entering a blank value. However, that will then require you to set this option to the "home" value again when it comes time to rearrange the account. Thus, there's currently no support to do exactly what you seeking without manually changing the settings each time you need to rearrange an account. We do have an existing feature request for this functionality at:

Set home directory for reseller

Note that it references "reseller" in the title, but the body actually notes the desire to do this for both resellers and roots (as part of a package feature). I encourage you to vote and add additional feedback to that request.

2. I encourage you to submit a feature request for the ability to rearrange multiple accounts:

Note that our feature request website is currently down for maintenance. It should resume functioning again within the next couple of days.

Thanks
