Altering the auto DocumentRoot

[mtudor]

Hi all,

I'm trying to achieve something with ISPManager and I wonder if any of you could help.

By default, ISPManager sets a DocumentRoot of ~/www/domain.com/.

I can override this for every domain I create, but I'd prefer to be able to alter the default, such that the DocumentRoot is set to ~/www/domain.com/public/.

That way, it's much easier when I have a user account with multiple domains to have a structure like:
~/www/domain.com
-> /public/
-> /application/
-> /data/

...and so on, whilst keeping the public directory as the only publicly accessible location.

Any way to achieve this and change the default auto DocumentRoot?

Thanks,

Mark.

Hello, standard tools to change the way you want is not possible, but if you're using Ruby-on-rails (enabled this in the Applications menu and www domain properties), then wwwroot will be automatically use a 'public' subdirectory.

Hiya,

Thanks for the response. It's a shame that this isn't possible - it would be nice flexibility to have.

So, my next (related) question!

I can go into httpd.conf and change the DocumentRoot manually, but ISPManager is remembering the old value somewhere and resetting it when I perform any action that updates httpd.conf.

I know this value can be set if you do it at domain creation time, but how can I alter it if this was not done? It must be set somewhere, but I can't for the life of me find out where!

Many thanks,

Mark.

You can modify DocumentRoot in httpd.conf as you want after domain was created, ISPmanager will not restore this value.

Hi,
I have used ispmgr to create my websites,
but it shows that the auto Root folder is "/var/www/user_name/data/www/domain_name.com".
But i want to change the root folder to /home/* .
I have tried to modify DocumentRoot in httpd.conf after builting webs by ispmgr.
But there's something wrong with my webs.
Once i have changed the root folder,the webs are missing in the ispmgr.
Could any one help me?
Thanks.

Hello, you can change DocumentRoot as you need, also you can change path DefaultHomeDir in ispmgr.conf (http://en.ispdoc.com/index.php/ISPmanager_configuration_file_(ISPmanager))
