new root

[kevin1gamer]

I want to set my upload folder as my root.

 

[galaxyAbstractor]

Create a new .htaccess file with this:

DocumentRoot Upload/

 

[kevin1gamer]

How do I do that?

 

[Zubair]

Go to cpanel. Then Click on File Manager.

In public_html folder create a new file named .htaccess

and paste the above code in it.. save it

 

[kevin1gamer]

How? Where is that?

 

[galaxyAbstractor]

just create a .htaccess file in your notepad with the code I posted, and upload it to your site with FTP. You might need to save it as file.htaccess, then rename it to .htaccess from the cPanel file manager. Upload it to your public_html folder

How do I edit it?

 

[kevin1gamer]

It didn't work, it just broke it: http://www.teenhotspot.co.cc/

 

[kevin1gamer]

Do I have to change the CHMOD permissions?

 

[galaxyAbstractor]

Follow this tutorial, http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/htaccess/, especially the "Creating A .htaccess File" section

 

[kevin1gamer]

Didn't work.

 

[kevin1gamer]

I put: "DocumentRoot Upload/"

It just causes error 500

 

[kevin1gamer]

Why are you guys making this a hundred times harder than it actually is? I just want to set it so my server goes to upload

 

[kevin1gamer]

I want to change the home directory, that's what I meant.

 

[galaxyAbstractor]

Can you try this:

DocumentRoot  /home/ssfree/public_html/Upload

Replace the content in the .htaccess file with that

 

[descalzo]

apparently DocumentRoot doesn't work on x10. You should do something with mod_rewrite

 

[kevin1gamer]

Still get the error.

 

[galaxyAbstractor]

Could you try:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?teenhotspot.co.cc$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/Upload/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /Upload/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?teenhotspot.co.cc$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ Upload/index.php [L]
