Hello,
I usually installs websites in the webroot (document root) directory public_html, most of them CMS's like WordPress, Drupal, Spip, etc ... I'm working on a new one based on Symfony which I also installed in public_html, but it is required that only the "public_html/web" subdirectory has to be reachable from the web (or accessible by Apache). I more or less know how to achieve this when declaring a webhost "by hand" in the appropiate files, but I was wondering what was the best way to do this with Virtualmin ?
It seems that the CMS still need to write into some first level directories (cache, tmp, ...), so I am not so sure about what needs to be done ...
Thks. Pierre.
Howdy,
Well, I suspect it it needs to write into a directory above the "web" directory, that it wouldn't be making a web request to do that -- it would be doing that by accessing the files/dirs directly, during an existing request.
That is to say -- if you were to setup a redirect from / to /web, I think that would work just fine. Though I know that there are some who just change the DocumentRoot as well.
I believe either of those should work for you though.
Would you like a hand doing one of the above?

Hello,
Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier but this is an urgent project so I'm full steam on it :-) I will have to test this at the earliest tomorrow night so I will know soon enough if it works. I will keep you posted of the results !
