I don’t know that it has a formal name, maybe “account root”. (Every folder except ‘/‘ has a “parent directory”.) Everything from that point down is accessible to files in your account, but only stuff from public_html and down is accessible on the web via Apache. When I look at what cPanel’s File Manager shows, as my “account root”, that’s what I see — tons of folders that have other uses OUTSIDE of what’s accessible via the web. Scripts in and beneath public_html can refer to assets in those other areas (using localhost) but Apache won’t let them be accessed directly using a URI. Like, you can’t refer to a file using ../ from public_html that’s in a peer folder to public_html. But your scripts can, because THEIR root is your “account root”. public_html is managed by Apache. Your account’s scope is rooted at public_html/.. At least, that’s what’s common in *nix systems. -David Schwartz > On Jan 7, 2025, at 9:32 AM, Keith Smith via PLUG-discuss wrote: > > Hi, > > I am running ubuntu and apache configured using PHP-FPM. > > If my Docroot is : /var/www//public_html > > Is there a title/name for /var/www/ > > I allow the user that owns the docroot to also own the subordinate folder: /var/www/ > > Does /var/www/ have a name/title? > > Thanks!! > Keith > --------------------------------------------------- > PLUG-discuss mailing list: PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: > https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list: PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
