Our docroot is public_html.
When we tried installing composer in public_html, it create a new a /docroot/ within the public_html which don’t want since it a sub-domain and we prefer having docroot to be /public_html/
How do we set up composer to install mautic using /public_html/ as the docroot?
Our server is CentOS 7 with cPanel as the web management
Thank you
We already tried downloading git folder into public_html and did a composer install which works but we noticed that composer update give us errors so we are unable to upgrade it
When we installed using this command
composer create-project mautic/recommended-project:^4 public_html --no-interaction
It does not install htaccess in /public_html/ pointing it to the /docroot/ subfolder so we prefer avoid thig method and have it install in /public_html/ instead of creation of another subfolder to be directed as htaccess
Here the link of folder install in our /public_html/ folder
public_html]$ ls -ls

No htaccess was added by composer install …
Simply move the folder at the same level of public_html, delete the already present public_html, rename the folder created by Composer to public_html. Done.
Do you mean the other folders need to be on same directory of public_html directory as well too?
When I tried to install it in the folder which the public_html reside in, it give me error folder not empty. It won’t let me install it there unless I delete everything in there which I can’t because it is needed for the cPanel operation to maintain a website for clients.
So I would need to install it in a empty directory then move the main contents installed into a folder which public_html is in
and then move web contents from docroot folder into public_html folder?
Is this what I need to do?
This didn’t work … error 500 … checking log
PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/home/-omitted-/vendor/composer/../../docroot/app/AppKernel.php'
It still expected it to be in the /docroot/ folder after installed so moving web contents to public_html folder doesn’t work
I may have found a solution but I don’t know how reliable this solution is with composer installed Mautic.
Here what I did on cpanel …
Via ssh go to your home dir /home/yourusername
at prompt type:
composer create-project mautic/recommended-project:^4 mautic --no-interaction
It’ll create a mautic folder in your home dir and install mautic in that folder /home/yourusername/mautic/*
Delete or rename /home/yourusername/public_html folder
At prompt type:
ln -s /home/yourusername/mautic/docroot /home/yourusername/public_html
That will create a symbolic link between the docroot and public_html
Complete installing Mautic via web browser
I added a PR to document this.
you can see the the rendered readme from that PR here, can you test those steps out and comment on the PR if this works?
Here the result …
changed all
docroot → ../public_html
Then did a
composer install
public_html had all the file installed in it
When I tried to set up Mautic for first time, I get this error
Mautic Installation - Environment Check
Major Problems that need to be fixed now
We have detected 1 major problems. You must fix them before continuing:
Vendor libraries must be installed. If you are running Mautic from source, please run 'composer install'. If you downloaded Mautic, please check for the 'vendor' folder.
I tried different ways and all come up the same result that it’s missing Vendor folders.
It will install Mautic in the correct docroot folder but when I go try to install it for first time then it give me the same error as above. “missing. vendor folder”
Did I miss a step maybe?
I think I got it all sorted … Hopefully but I’m still doing some more testing…
Both cores and docroot need to be install together in public_html folder. It seems that core/bin cannot be install outside of the public_html folder probably due to strange permission setup on cpanel.
Still follow the same steps on document the steps to change the webroot by mollux · Pull Request #18 · mautic/recommended-project · GitHub
But I got mine working by using full cpanel path. We can’t just swap docroot with public_html in composer.json instead we have to use full path as setup in cpanel
composer.json need to be in /public_html/ folder
edit composer.json
replace docroot with /home/cpanel-username/public_html
open cpanel terminal (need to be your own account cpanel terminal to have the correct permission applied to the file during installation in a jailed “garden” account)
composer install --no-interaction
Like I said I haven’t done much testing and I just got it working with composer install.

Still need to do more texting however so far it’s looking like successful composer install on cpanel
