How would I go about creating a new Public_Html folder? I guess I really screwed up, because I was deleting a forum's directory, and somhow that deleted my public_html folder. So I am wondering if it is possible to create a new public_html folder?
thanks.

You can create it through the filemanager or ssh just as if you were creating a normal directory. And then chmod it 750.
 
I make it in the same place as the domain folder.. right? if so, then when i try to make public_html, it doesnt make it.
 
YOu would make it in the same folder as private_html

Here is an example if your username was 'lucky' and your domain was 'tootsie.com'

You would want to create the public_html directory in /home/lucky/domains/tootsie.com/
So that you could cd into the public_html directory and have it look like this:
/home/lucky/domains/tootsie.com/public_html
 
thanks, I'll give that a shot, but I dont have a private_html either.. I havent for a while, Still dont know why.
 
Sorry for the double post. But heres a visual. And when i try that, and go to www.mydomain.com it comes up saying forbidden.

The domains directory belongs to username:username
The domain directory within the domains directory belongs to username:username
And finally the public_html which is chmod'ed to 750 does belong to username:apache (NOT username:username) right?

If yes to all of those, then I don't know what to say without actually getting into it to see whats up. Maybe someone else has some ideas? Do other domains work properly (from other accounts)

Chmoding the directories that don't belong to the right group to 777 will also work but it is a security risk.
