I have struggled with this problem before and ended up asking GH support to deal with it for me. But it keeps coming up, and I'd like to learn how to catch this fish myself. I need to do it today, and then again in a week or so.

Here's the deal. The primary domain and parked domains in a client's cPanel site seem to default to the document root /home/[username]/public_html , which is normally fine, but right now I need for different domains to default to different document roots. I don't want to deal with subdomains, so I think Add-ons is out, unless I'm missing something there.

All I want to do is have newdomain.com use /home/[username]/public_html/subdomain instead. Then, later, I want to change my primary domain to do the same.

Now, I understand -- I think -- how to do this in the httpd.conf file. But since we're no longer allowed to edit that directly, I am having a lot of trouble making WHM's new Include Editor do anything at all. Whenever I have tried, I have failed, and then Matt or Alexander have come in and done the task for me successfully, but I never learn how they fixed the problem.

So I'm hoping someone can give advice on how to deal with this stuff. In the meantime, I'll keep trying to figure it out, and maybe I'll answer my own question, since my work is dead in the water till I get this working.

Thanks in advance...
