i tried to create a sub domain under the main admin account's domain.

the admin's domain folder is like /home/admin/domains/main.com

i dont have a /home/domains/ folder.

i'm getting an error like the following:

Hello,

Make sure that you havn't accidently deleted the path:

/home/domains/main.com/

If you have, you'll need to create that directory, as well as the public_html and private_html directories.

i dont think i've ever had those directories.

the "Contents of the httpd.conf file for main.com" uses
DocumentRoot /home/admin/domains/main.com/public_html

how does |DOCROOT| get generated?
does it depend on the home folder field in the passwd file.
i just changed the admin home dir and added another subdomain and it seems to work now.. i changed the passwd file so admin can ftp to the root dir /, but then wanted to change it back and put /home in the passwd file instead of /home/admin.

n/m i found it..
