The more I research this, the more it looks like I would have to reset the DocumentRoot dynamically... and so far, that doesn't seem possible. I've tried the following all of the following directives in my .htaccess file (one at a time): php_value doc_root /var/www/domain.com/sub php_value user_dir domain.com/sub DocumentRoot /var/www/domain.com/sub DocumentRoot /var/www/domain.com/sub DocumentRoot /var/www/domain.com/sub UserDir domain.com/sub The PHP ones are ignored. All the rest give Internal Server errors. It seems that PHP used to allow setting doc_root and user_dir in .htaccess but that was a bug and was fixed years ago. Alas. It's looking like the only way to set the DocumentRoot or UserDir is to do so in the system level httpd.conf. Am I missing anything, here?
