How do I change the document root for my website?

What is the Document-Root?

This is the directory where your site lives, and where you should put your index.php or index.html file. The default settings are as follows:

For the main site (mywebsite.com in this example):

/home/domains/mywebsite.com/docs

for any subdomians of that site (mysubdomain.mywebsite.com in this example):

/home/domains/mywebsite.com/docs.mysubdomain

How can I change my website's document-root?

This can be done through the Brownrice Dashboard! Steps:

1. Click 'VPSs' then 'Mange' next to your VPS.
2. Click 'Websites'
3. Scroll to your website, and click (edit) next to the Document Root.
4. Type in a directory name and click 'Save'.  Note that if the directory doesn't exist, clicking 'Save' will also create the directory automatically.
5. Important: You will also need to change the document-root for the two SSL versions of your site (www and without www.)
