bashrc and default home dir

[wyattbiker]

When a user logs in with SSH they are landed in a directory like this

/var/www/clients/client6/web7

1) Where does the .bashrc go? I tried putting it in the web7 directory but seems not to take effect.

I am using this as .bashrc (Copied from root):

# .bashrc

# User specific aliases and functions

alias rm='rm -i'
alias cp='cp -i'
alias mv='mv -i'

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
	. /etc/bashrc
fi

#2) After logging in is there a way to put them in their symlink home directory instead. E.g.

/var/www/domainname.com

Thanks

1) The shell of jailed users is the jailkit shell, I'am not sure if its reads the .bashrc file as .bashrc is a configuration file of the bash shell. See also here for modifications like a different in jail shell:

2) Not as far as I know. But a jailed user cant see this path as the dircetory /var/www/clients/client6/web7/ is the directory / for him, so he neither sees /var/www/domainname.com nor /var/www/clients/client6/web7 in that case.

The user is not jailed. I set up his Chroot Shell account to None.

It seems the Shell User Options Tab has no effect when you change the paths.

The only way I got it to work was to manually change the path of the user in the /etc/passwd file

Please be aware that your setup will break now if the name of the domain is changed in the website settings. To prevent that, ISPConfig uses a path that does not change like /var/www/clients/client6/web7 for websites and shell users.
