The required path for a subdomain DocumentRoot override requires: /domains/domain.com/public_html style reference, relative to below the /home/user path. If you try to use /home/user/domains/domain.com/public_html, DA would have reported; Cannot Execute Your Request. Path must start with '/home/user/domains/' which was incorrect. Chnaged to report '/domains'. =================== SKINS Also set a placeholder into the subdomain_override.html skin page, eg: /usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/enhanced/user/subdomain_override.html <td class=list><input type=text name=public_html size=40 value="|SUB_PUBLIC_HTML|" placeholder="/domains/|domain|/public_html"></td> <td class=list><input type=text name=private_html size=40 value="|SUB_PRIVATE_HTML|" placeholder="/domains/|domain|/private_html"></td>
