Dear, WHT members:

I just purchased a Dedicated Server with CPanel/WHM installed. I love it but I don't know much about managing a server besides the basic stuff.

I'm currently having a minor issue that I need resolved...

I still have my clients on my Reseller account and I'm trying to move the account to my new dedicated server.

I'm having a problem with the Skeleton Directory though. I know there should be a directory that says cpanel3-skel/public_html in the CPanel File Manager but there wasn't. So, I created it and started to create my clients accounts.

When I create an account it tries to copy from root/cpanel3-skel/public_html but there is no such thing since the directory is /home/myusername.

This is pretty much a script problem but I'm the only account on the server right now so I should be the root.

Is there a way to tell CPanel to copy from home/myusername instead of /root? Or is there something I forgot to set in CPanel?

If anyone is familiar with CPanel, please help me out. Thanks!

Why not place your files to be included in every account into /root/cpanel3-skel/ ? Anyways, log into SSH and issue the following commands:

cd /root
rm -rf /root/cpanel3-skel/
ln /home/yourusername/cpanel3-skel/ cpanel3-skel/ -s

That will create a symbolic link into /home/yourusername/cpanel3-skel/ for /root/cpanel3-skel/ :)

Thanks Marc!

By the way...

Do you know of a website that has a complete list of Linux Commands?

I want to learn Linux by knowing the actual commands and either memorize them or go by the list.

Thanks!

There is no fixed list of commands. Commands are just programs. There are hundreds and hundreds of programs installed on a standard Linux system. Here's a list of some basic commands though: http://www.emba.uvm.edu/CF/basic.html

You might want to look into getting book, since understanding Linux is more than knowing a lot of commands.
