Deploy PyroCMS into shared hosting with limit user access

Created 6 years ago by ithieund

Hi, anyone deployed PyroCMS into Cpanel server with limited user? I copied index.php and .htaccess from /public to / and the front-end worked. But after that when I access /admin then the login page breaks because of incorrect css URL.

Is there a solution for shared hosting? Thank you very much.

First off, you have to have SSH access to the account. You don't need root access, but you need to be able to setup a symlink. Once you SSH into the account. Get into the home folder for your account (where the public_html folder is). Upload all of your application files there (outside of the public_html folder). Then rename public_html to something else like public_html_old. Then make a symlink like this:

ln -s public public_html

Everything else should be ok as-is. Try the site. I think that was all I had to do to get it going but to be honest I'm not 100%. But that should at least get you started...

If you don't have SSH access, follow the cron job directions here: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9561/29/how-to-create-a-symbolic-link-in-cpanel

You can change the default route for a domain in cpanel, just redirect the domain to the public folder instead of the main route.
