Possible to get rid of private_html, use same content for SSL/non-SSL?

So I'm revisiting DirectAdmin, having not used it since it was in its very early stages, and I'm wondering is there any way to not use th separate public_html and private_html folders, but use the same content for SSL and non-SSL requests?

You can symlink it via the domain setup link then click on the domain.

private_html setup for demo.com - (SSL must be enabled above)
--Use a directory named private_html
--Use a symbolic link from private_html to public_html - allows for same data in http and https

Got it, thanks very much.

In fact DirectAdmin now allows you to specify this on domain creation.

How exactly can this be done after domain creation?

Make sure that all files in private_html which you need are moved to public_html, as once you do this, anything in private_html will be gone forever.

Then delete the private_html deirectory, and create a link from private_html to public_html.

Note that this has the ability to make your site very insecure; your users will be able to load pages into their browsers insecurely, even though you expect them to be secure.
