AH00112 Warning: Document Root doesn't exist

ash3T

Hi, yes, it's me again. 😅
After I changed the webroot from public_html to /public_html/flarum/public
Then it shows a warning: AH00112 Warning: Document Root doesn't exist.

Could it be because in the Apache config file, it says:

<Directory "/public_html/flarum/public">
SSILegancyExprParser On
</Directory>

and it is doesn't include "AllowOverride All" which has causing that warning message?

<Directory "/public_html/flarum/public">
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Because my friend offers this server to run a flarum site, and he is not teksavvy. I am hoping to check if anyone know about what is causing the warning. My friend's server runs cpanel virtual on CentOS platform, PHP 7.3. 😀

ash3T what webserver is that? Apache?

The Directory directive seems to be used with an absolute path. Is this correct or should it be a relative path?

The error could be because your DocumentRoot instruction points to a different location. Can you locate that value? Most likely on a managed hosting the value for DocumentRoot is set via the admin UI, but I'm not sure where it can be found in cPanel.

Thank you. Yes, my webserver is Apache.

clarkwinkelmann The Directory directive seems to be used with an absolute path. Is this correct or should it be a relative path? I searched online, and found suggestion for solving the AH00112 Warning, is to keep the Directory and DocumentRoot the same. I first tired only change the Documentroot, it doesn't work.

Actually, my friend help me to change DocumentRoot through the terminal with in cPanel. I will give it a try to see if I can locate that value. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. I will update if I find any solution.
