When I do composer create-project craftcms/craft
, it will create a web
folder. My webroot is called public_html
though. Can I change this somehow, or should I make a symlink?
Or simply don't use composer to install in that case?

You can just rename web/
to public_html/
, or move all the files inside web/
into public_html/
. (DonâÂÂt forget to move the .htaccess
and .env
files, if the latter.)
As long as the location of the public_html/
folder is in the same place as the web/
folder was, you donâÂÂt need to change anything else.
my-project.test/
âÂÂâÂÂâ config/
âÂÂâÂÂâ ...
âÂÂâÂÂâ public_html/
âÂÂâÂÂâ index.php
âÂÂâÂÂâ ...
If you need to change the location to something like this:
my-project.test/
âÂÂâÂÂâ craft/
â âÂÂâÂÂâ config/
â âÂÂâÂÂâ ...
âÂÂâÂÂâ public_html/
âÂÂâÂÂâ index.php
âÂÂâÂÂâ ...
Then just make sure that your CRAFT_BASE_PATH
constant points to the right base path (craft/
).
// old:
define('CRAFT_BASE_PATH', dirname(__DIR__));
// new:
define('CRAFT_BASE_PATH', dirname(__DIR__) . '/craft');
But won't that breakcomposer update
for later maintenance?

No it won't. Composer update installs everything into/vendor
. All my projects use/public
instead of/web
.
â Jay
Aug 23 at 13:50
Ok! So that would also be a valid setup:home/craft
(withconfig
,modules
,storage
,template
andvendor
, not accessible via web),home/public_html
(with the content ofweb
and a modifiedCRAFT_BASE_PATH
)?

In that case just make sure that theCRAFT_BASE_PATH
constant inpublic_html/index.php
is pointed at thecraft/
folder.
