Hello,

The user can:

1. Create a new directory (move the existing document root).
2. Create a symlink from the old document root to the new one.

This approach ensures that everything expecting the current format from the panel interface will continue to work, as /home/{username}/{domain}/ is hardcoded.

I'll leave the issue open for future consideration when we can allocate resources for a proper rewrite.

still, you need to polish error message and let users know that there are some restriction or it feels like it doesn't work.

[caesarmind]

also please specify what's the way of creating symllinsk via UI?

[stefanpejcic]

There is no option for creating symlink via UI - only from terminal

/home/{username}/{domain}/

I am not talking about this format.

/home/{username}/{domain}/ + public = /home/{username}/{domain}/public - I need to achieve this. I already have done it with one websites and works fine, just still getting error during editing file
