Hi Daniel,
The /etc/skel dir is copied in by the useradd command, as part of creating the Virtual Server owner's account.
It's not copied into Sub-Servers, as no new user accounts are being created, so useradd isn't being called.
If you're using the Pro version, the system php.ini should be automatically copied in already (if it's not, that's a bug!)
If you're using the GPL version, you might look into System Settings -> Module Config -> Actions upon server and user creation. You could tweak "Command to run before making changes to a server" to do what you're after.

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply. I am using the GPL version. I have looked at "Actions upon server and user creation," however, I have a question. If my script was to say, copy the necessary files into the domain, how would I only have the script run on creation of a domain. It would seem that this script "Command to run before making changes to a server" is run regardless of a add/delete/modify. Is there some environment variable to know which is occurring? Thanks,
Daniel
Hi All,
i am having some problems with copying the /etc/skel dir too ... if i create a server with no virtual ip address then i can see the index.htm page i have created in /etc/skel/public_html but its not displayed when you type in domain.com/index.htm
however if i create a domain with a new virtual IP address and type in domain.com/index.htm the page is displayed and i can see it etc ???
