Hello,

I’m a web developer and new with Dolibarr, but I like it.

I’m sorry, I speak a little English.

My problem:

I have a domain name with shared hosting. For example: [example.com](http://example.com)

The [example.com](http://example.com) domain root path is fix, I can’t modify:  
/home/user/public\_html

I installed successfully Dolibarr, the domain: [dolibarr.example.com](http://dolibarr.example.com)  
/home/user/dolibarr/htdocs (root path for this subdomain)

It works, fine.

I would like create website with Dolibarr module for the [example.com](http://example.com), but this path is not okay for me:  
/home/user/dolibarr/documents/website/first

I would like change this path to:  
/home/user/public\_html

How to or what are my options? I can’t change the root path for [example.com](http://example.com) domain.

Thank you.

Solved:

```auto
rm -r /home/user/public_html
ln -s /home/user/dolibarr/documents/website/first /home/user/public_html

```

You might need to explore configuring a redirect or using an alias to point your main domain to the desired folder while keeping Dolibarr’s files separate.
