Accidently Deleted www in my files

funkyy · August 18th, 2008, 3:38 PM

I accidentally deleted my www folder in ftp.
how do i get it back?

the public_html folder still has my site files.

the www folder actually is just a link to public_html. I'm sure support can put it back for you (I don't know how to create it yourself)

I tried re-creating =[
It was a accident, I hope i didn't mess up anything.

I really don't think you messed up anything.

However, you could submit a ticket to have it checked-out, just in case... (Also, if you deleted it in the cPanel file manager and didn't empty the waste basket, you can restore the original www folder -- but I assume you did this via ftp.)

I'm not even sure what I did.
I just accidently clicked something and it said.

I accidentally deleted my www link too, several years ago. I got it back by using the PHP symlink function: PHP: symlink - Manual

Can you explain to me how to do it please?
I would love to do it on my own =]

Create a PHP file with the following (Be sure to substitute your home directory, of course) and place it in public_html

PHP Code:


			
<?php
$home = "/home/user";
symlink($home."/public_html",$home."/www");
if(file_exists($home."/www")) echo "Symlink created.";
?>

Then visit it in your web browser. For example, if you named it symlink.php, then visit http://domain.com/symlink.php . Make sure to remove the php file when you're done.
