Configuring www root for a user account

[Liquid_Squelch]

I'm trying to configure the "www root" for a sub account on my VPS.

This pain in the butt user (me) would like to make a few changes.

Normally, apache looks in /root/home/<user>/public_html for the root html file for that account.

I would like the main www to be in /root/home/<user>/public_html/wp so that I can create other subdomains under /root/home/<user>/public_html/sub_1

Where in WHM can I set the main directory for what I'm calling www root?

Thanks

you would normally not do that.

I create a folder called "subdomains" in the public_html folder and when creating subdomains, I use this folder as the root for my subdomains. (so in the subdomains folder I make subdomain1, subdomain2 etc.).

You must have some special reason for wanting the other thing, I know, but can't figure out why the "normal" way is not ok for you ?

Nowhere in WHM, you need to do it in command line.

Awesome - thanks! That should work.

I like to setup my domains that way because I don't want someone entering /home/<user>/public_html/subdomain as
www.<user>.tld/subdomain

Plus, it makes things easier for me to see while in FTP.

Thanks again
