Vesta Control Panel - Forum

I have Vesta installed on Ubuntu and I'm running Joomla on one of the sites. Joomla has a backup facility that I would typically point to a non public folder to store the backups.

For example:
/home/cPanelAccountNameHere/Backups

So I used SSH to login to the server and created a Backups folder for one of the accounts above public_html

I then FTPd into the server to make sure the folder was there and permissions set correctly.

However, on the Joomla site running on Ubuntu with Vesta I tried to set the following backup location:
/home/admin/web/VestaAccountNameHere/Backups

And I get an error saying "The specified directory doesn't exist!"

Is this something with Ubuntu stopping me or Vesta that needs to be edited...?

VestaCP has changed some templates and added open_basedir as default. Maybe this can be the problem. Which version are you using? And which templates?

It's a recent install so I would assume the latest version.
Where would I find this...?

Template:
/usr/local/vesta/data/templates/web/

The domain config:
/home/yourusername/conf/web/

Sorry, I don't see any files in there relating to Vesta.

/usr/local/vesta/data/templates/web/

Just directories:
apache2 awstats nginx php5-fpm skel suspend webalizer

Then go to apache2 and edit the default.tpl and default.stpl. When you change this file this is for all you domains that is using the default template. You need to rebuild the user, but there is some bug when rebuilding.
