I mean, you've got the essentials down, instead of modifying a user, I suppose you could create the user with that home directory, but that's really a "do it now, or do it later" ... Either way, you're getting it done.

Hi,

I want to make sure I am doing this correctly.

I have a unbutu LAMP server running on VirtualBox.  This is for testing
and development.

When I add a virtual host I need to create a user for PHP-FPM.

To set the user's home directory I use  :  sudo usermod -d
/var/www/<domain-name>/public_html <user-name>

When I ssh into the server with that user's name and issue "cd ~" I oam
in the home directory. This is the behavior I desire.

Question is, is there a another way to configure this (specific to
creating a vhost) when creating a vhost?

Thanks!!

Keith
