Use HestiaCP to modify the default document root directory path of the Web domain

Have you ever tried to set up an images subdomain for your WordPress site on HestiaCP, only to get a “folder does not exist” error?

You are not the only one who has encountered this problem. Many users have been troubled by this problem when using the HestiaCP control panel.

Now we will solve it step by step, allowing you to easily modify the default document root directory path of the web domain name and upload plugins and themes smoothly!

Why do you need to change the default document root?

By default, HestiaCP will point all domain names to /home/用户名/web/域名/public_html/ table of Contents.

However, if you want to store the images of your WordPress site in a subdomain path, such as img.chenweiliang.com, and hope it points to /home/用户名/web/chenweiliang.com/public_html/wp-content/img.chenweiliang.com/ folder, you need to modify the default document root directory.

Problem: Folder does not exist error

When you try to set it up directly in HestiaCP, you may encounter the following error message:

Error: Directory wp-content/img.chenweiliang.com does not exist under /home/用户名/web/img.chenweiliang.com/public_html/.

• This is because the system /home/用户名/web/img.chenweiliang.com/public_html/ Not found in directory wp-content/img.chenweiliang.com folder.

How to solve?

Step 1: Create a target folder

First, we need to manually create the target folder.

Log into your server using SSH and execute the following command:

mkdir /home/用户名/web/chenweiliang.com/public_html/wp-content/img.chenweiliang.com

Please remember to replace "username" and "chenweiliang.com" with your own username and domain name.

Step 2: Modify the default document root directory

Next, we need to modify the default document root using the commands provided by HestiaCP.

Execute the following command:

v-change-web-domain-docroot 用户名 img.chenweiliang.com  chenweiliang.com wp-content/img.chenweiliang.com

Again, please replace "username", "img.chenweiliang.com", and "chenweiliang.com" with your own information.

Step 3: Verify that the modification is successful

After completing the above steps, log in to your HestiaCP control panel and view the subdomain img.chenweiliang.com Has the default root directory been changed to:

wp-content/chenweiliang.com

Step 4: Move files

Finally, move all of your image files into the newly created folder:

mv /home/用户名/web/img.chenweiliang.com/public_html/* /home/用户名/web/chenweiliang.com/public_html/wp-content/img.chenweiliang.com/
