ANYBODY OUT THERE....

My domain works but when i try to pull up subfolders it doesnt and i have finally find out that the subfolders are in users/admin but it needs to pull up with out typing www.mydomain.com/users/admin/subfolders, my question is how do i change that back to where my root dir is..

Hope someone can help me out there...

Vegasboy:

What username id you use to login? Prbably admin - might be easier to login as a user instead.

Be sure that you point your ftp program to the correct directory - the files need to be published in /web for that domain.

I have already try to put it in the directory where it should go but I have to type in www.mydomain.com/users/admin/then subfolders to pull up stuff in that subfolder instead of it picking up from the main section, I have tried Admin and regular user as well

Hope this makes some sense and thanks for helping me as well

I have had users who uploaded to the wrong folder. Maybe that is what happened?

If logging in as a normal (not admin)user, you should only see this root folder structure when you ftp login:
/certs
/logs
/users
/web

Make sure your ftp program takes you to the directory /web as the last post suggested. The slash is VERY important. If you do not specify /web as your initial directory, but just "web", you may end up in your user's personal homepage folder.

/home/sites/home/users/whateverUser/web
which is accessible only through
http://host.domain.com/~whateverUser/

If logging in as admin, have your initial directory setup in your ftp client to be:
/home/sites/home/web


hope I'm not way off base here...
