Asura Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hi mrlongshen, Just create a symbolic link... ln -sf /root/www /var/www/html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vengeance Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 your default webspace is var/www/html if you change this all your other website files should also be moved to this new location. Hence why would you change and also not good to keep website files under root... not preferable.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelsoftman Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Why do you even have to change it? When I had a server I never edited httpd.conf and my CP worked fine on my VPS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you create a different user (other than 'root') and specify a homedir for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
