Hello, I am trying to install a CMS(Website Baker) for a client and I need to change the document root from /var/www/web41/web to /var/www/web41/wb I need to change it for the install script to execute correctly. I edited the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file and changed the path for this Vhost, ran the script but then when apache restarts, the path for the document root in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf is set back to /var/www/web41/web which then causes the script to crash. Also a new web directory is created under /var/www/web41 (with a new index page), even after I removed the original one and as such when I browse to www.web41.com I get the welcome page, that is presented when you first create a website. Everything is being reset back when apache restarts and all my changes lost! How can I make this one change for this one Vhost stay permanent? Regards Matt
I forgot to mention adding an entry into the apache directives doesnt help either as it just adds the entry to the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file and doesnt overwrite it, so the original reference to the document root takes precedence.
How about a symlink? 1st solution (recommended as it leaves the /web directory including its subdirectories & files intact): ln -s /var/www/web41/web /var/www/web41/wb run the installer for the cms afterwards - it should run fine 2nd solution (the other way round - TAKE CARE, this will DELETE all your contents including Subdirectories and files of /var/www/web41/web !!!): rm -r /var/www/web41/web ln -s /var/www/web41/wb /var/www/web41/web
Brengo, Thank you for the suggestions, the second option worked a treat! Your help is much appreciated Kind Regards Matt
