If you’re using apache then the path is \/usr\/local\/vesta\/data\/templates\/web\/httpd and you need to edit the default.tpl and default.stpl files<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\n
• Create two new templates with your domain name in the filename. E.g copy the two wordpress2 templates as follows:<\/li>\n
• cp wordpress2.stpl wordpress2-domainname.stpl<\/li>\n
• cp wordpress2.tpl wordpress2-domainname.tpl<\/li>\n
• NOTE: stpl is the template used for SSL. So if you intend to use SSL make sure you also copy the stpl file.<\/em><\/li>\n
• Edit each file and modify the root path<\/em><\/li>\n
• vi <\/em>wordpress2-domainname.stpl<\/li>\n
• Edit the root path and then save the file<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  <\/p>\n

  \n
  • In this particular case the default %docroot% variable is set to \/home\/admin\/web\/domainname\/public_html\/ (where domainname is the web domain name)<\/li>\n
  • Do the same to vi <\/em>wordpress2-domainname.tpl<\/li>\n
  • Login to your VestaCP dashboard and click on Web – your domain name. In the Web Template (NGINX) select the new template you created:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \n
    • That’s it, the document root for that particular domain will be permanently set to the folder you specified. Hope this helped and if it did please share it or leave me a comment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The best way I have found to change the Document Root for specific websites in VestaCP is to create a new Web Template for each domain. I previously edited the document root path in the config file for each for each domain but when NGINX or the server restarted it would revert back to the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26574,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3133,6386,1968,1625],"class_list":["post-26569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-business","tag-document-root","tag-vestacp","tag-websites-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26569"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26569\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26571,"href":"https:\/\/www.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26569\/revisions\/26571"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
