change the root directory of a sub domain with vhost.conf

[vixiom]

Hi,

I'm trying to change the root directory of a subdomain so I can install a cakephp app in that subdomain. With a vhost.conf file I can get it to work on a top level domain just not with a subdomain.

With a top level domain I create a vhost.conf file like this...

# start vhost.conf
DocumentRoot /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/app/webroot/
<Directory /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/app/webroot/>
php_admin_value safe_mode 0
php_admin_value open_basedir
"/home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs:/tmp:/usr/share/pear"
# options
Options Indexes ExecCGI FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
# .htaccess so cake's urls work properly
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
# end vhost.conf

and then % /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -u --vhost-name=domain.com

to apply the changes. I tried making a vhost.conf in my subdomain's conf directory but that doesn't seem to do anything.

thanks

Actually I think your problem is related to the fact that the DocumentRoot is set in the httpd.include file created by Plesk.

So you might consider to edit it manually and then remember when Plesk rewrites it - you have to enter the information manually again.
