how to create Public_html folder

[Biff]

Hey all,

Newb here and I have a quick (and probably stupid) question.

I accidentally deleted my Public_html folder today... long story!! Anyway, how can i create a new one?

 

[smtalk]

cd /home/[b]user[/b]/domains/[b]domain[/b]
mkdir public_html
chown [b]user[/b]:[b]user[/b] public_html
chmod 755 public_html

Change words in bold.

You can also do it from the File Manager. And also its public_html not Public_html. Case matters.

Thanks for replying guys

cd /home/[b]user[/b]/domains/[b]domain[/b]
mkdir public_html
chown [b]user[/b]:[b]user[/b] public_html
chmod 755 public_html

Change words in bold.

Like i said, i'm a total newb so where would i enter this??

You can also do it from the File Manager. And also its public_html not Public_html. Case matters.

And i tried this but when i uploaded the new files the site still hasn't changed. The old public_html file had a red arrow on it in the File Manager, the one i created doesn't?

Any more ideas??

Just execute these commands in ssh.

Whats that?? I'm sorry to be such a pain in the ass but I know very little about computers....

The one with the red arrow was the symlink to the real public_html folder. It is not necessary. The real public_html folder is supposed to be in /home/your_username/domains/your_domain_name/ Check that.

Also its helpful to tell us what the domain is so we can check it. You may have a problem you don't know about like the domain expired or its not a registered domain or not pointing to the correct nameservers. That is the main reasons my customers domains don't work.

All sorted. The folder wasn't deleted just the link to it like you said Floyd.

Thanks a million guys, i owe you one!
