Strange problem with Cpanel new accounts home directory
| Posted by goolex, 12-23-2011, 09:53 AM | | When I am creating a new account in Cpanel its using a directory inside one of my accounts instead of /home !
instead of /home its using following path :
/home/abcd/public_html/uploads/
for example if a new account's username is google its using following path :
/home/abcd/public_html/uploads/google/
default home directory in cpanel is at /home
The only place that I have used that path is in /etc/fstab (because the main hdd was full I added a new hdd and pointed that uploads to new hdd):
but should adding this in fstab effect the default home directory of cpanel ?
I tried /scripts/fixeverything but didn't help ...
Thanks

/etc/wwwacct.conf
and check the HOMEDIR settings,if its not present then add the following line after the CONTACTEMAIL line and restart the cPanel
HOMEDIR /home
