How to Add Default Files for Newly Created Accounts
Identify location of Skeleton Directory:
As shown above, the Skeleton Directory is located directly within the reseller's root file directory. Therefore, using the example above, the absolute path for the reseller's Skeleton Directory would be /home/reseller1/cpanel3-skel.
This directory is what will be used as a skeleton for new accounts. For example if you place an "index.html" file in /home/reseller1/cpanel3-skel/public_html, and then setup a new account, that account will have a copy of your "index.html" in their public_html directory.
To add default files for newly created accounts, follow the steps below:
- Login to the Reseller's cPanel account.
- Open the File Manager.
- Navigate to /cpanel3-skel/public_html directory.
- Create new file named "index.html".
- Edit file "index.html".
- Add your custom html content.
- Save file "index.html"
Now, every new cPanel account created by your reseller account will include the "index.html" file in the "public_html" directory.
Conclusion
You now know how to add default files for newly created accounts.
