# Apr 18th 2017, 17:04 theaxiom take care
# Apr 18th 2017, 17:04 theaxiom :slightly_smiling_face:
# Apr 18th 2017, 17:04 hmic clone to an empty dir of your choice, set webroot in cpanel to the apps webroot - done.
# Apr 18th 2017, 17:03 sjundee Ill check that out :slightly_smiling_face:
# Apr 18th 2017, 17:03 hmic so there you go!
# Apr 18th 2017, 17:03 theaxiom Then you don't even need a symlink
# Apr 18th 2017, 17:03 sjundee cpanel
# Apr 18th 2017, 17:03 theaxiom Which hosting control panel are you using?
# Apr 18th 2017, 17:03 theaxiom if you are using cPanel you can change the default public_html directory directly to your webroot
# Apr 18th 2017, 17:03 sjundee Earlier I have cloned all files into `~/` but ´webroot´ that has been cloned to `~/public_html/`. That worked fine. But I realize I probably should mess up with server files and my app files in `~/`.
# Apr 18th 2017, 17:01 theaxiom that is by far the easiest method
# Apr 18th 2017, 17:01 theaxiom hmic said to clone your code to a folder beside public_html then symlink webroot to public_html
# Apr 18th 2017, 17:00 theaxiom even if PHP fails and the PHP code is directly output to the browser, your app code is still protected
# Apr 18th 2017, 17:00 sjundee Allright. I don't have it 100% clear for me, but I think I'll figure something out with the inputs you provided :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks @theaxiom and @hmic
# Apr 18th 2017, 17:00 theaxiom I've personally never had an issue with .htaccess and have traditionally deployed the entire app to public
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:57 theaxiom but it is more complicated than a symlink
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:57 theaxiom you would have to rename webroot to public_html and then change some configs in your app
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:57 hmic sjundee: theaciom is talking about rsyncing the whole app, not the webroot dir alone
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:57 theaxiom @sjundee symlink will be the easiest way
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:56 theaxiom I run my app in Docker
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:56 theaxiom @sjundee just use a symlink
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:56 sjundee I just don't understand how a "copy" with rsync will be able to tell my app where to look for the core files.
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:55 theaxiom ok
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:55 hmic theaxiom: no security implications.
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:55 theaxiom @hmic that makes sense, but not from a security standpoint
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:54 sjundee Right. Got some options to work on at least.
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:54 hmic as you have an atomic operation switching between versions!
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:54 hmic theaxiom: the opposite is true. it's even a best practice to symlink the public folder to your app
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:54 theaxiom you're obviously more than welcome to do it either way
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:54 theaxiom I wouldn't recommend using a symlink from a public folder to a private folder, that's just my opinion
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:53 theaxiom rsync is just a file copy tool which will copy all the files over to your desired location
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:53 theaxiom then delete your source directory afterward
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:53 theaxiom `rsync -vaz source> <dest`
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:52 theaxiom and then rsync it to the folder above public_html
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:52 theaxiom then clone it into a new folder above the folder above public_html
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:52 hmic theaxiom: i'd clone into a new dir besided public_html and just link public_html to the app/webroot dir.
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:52 theaxiom ok
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:52 sjundee I'm feel like I don't want to clone it into public_html as everything is in a public folder. Even if .htaccess prevents access
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:51 hmic theaxiom: still is the whole app "public"
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:51 theaxiom as long as you have AllowOverride
# Apr 18th 2017, 16:51 theaxiom if you clone right into public_html, the app by nature will be routed through webroot using .htaccess
