Hi,

I'm using ClearOS 7.8, I've installed the webserver app, then enabled a website, but noticed it defaults to /var/www/html and there is no way to change it via the GUI. I'd like to use sub-folder /hp, so I edited flex-443.conf to point to that folder and after restarting apache this all worked well. However, I noticed that in the GUI the folder displayed is still /var/www/html. If I click save, the settings are all overridden and I have to edit the file again. I'm not sure where is this base path taken, I've checked both httpd.conf and ssl.con, I have the default document root replaced everywhere? Is there some other place where I can change the default dir for the websites?

    Unfortunately if you fight flexshares (and websites), you will probably lose. Any manual changes you make will get overwritten next time yuo update the flexshares or websites. I saw somewhere it is is best not to use the default website apart from a minimal landing page (or a redirect). Instead, perhaps use the default website for your basic domain name e.g example.com. Then use additional websites for subdomains such as www.example.com. These go into folders under /var/www/virtual and it is best to chose the default sandbox folder layout.
