Apache DocumentRoot and user's home directory different?

[jameso]

Hi everyone,

I am quite new to ISPConfig, and have a question.

I created added a new site via ISPConfig. I then created a ftp/email user for this domain, and then log in via FTP.

The FTP login puts me into:
/var/www/web3/user/web3_dba

Whereas, in /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf, under the VirtualHost for this domain, it has:

DocumentRoot /var/www/web3/web

Can anyone explain why the web3_dba user's home directory is different to Apache's documentRoot for this domain?

I would have thought they should be the same?

Thanks very much!

Plese enable the "Administrator" checkbox in the settings of the user web3_dba.
