Question

Hope someone could help, am new to bluehost and had a shared hosting subscription. Now my issue is how to modify the subdomain document root.
example: from public_html/sub to public_html/sub/public
also when i created a subdomain it doesn't even allow me to add "/" unlike in godaddy
thanks.

Answer 1

I had the same issue, some how I landed to this URL
https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/dm/subdomain
and it allowed to to add "/" with subdomain, hope it helps

Answer 2

I found a solution so on the root folder add or edit if already existing .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub.domain.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.sub.domain.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !sub/public/
RewriteRule (.*) /sub/public/$1 [L]
Done

Answer 3

In order to do this via the Bluehost interface, I followed these steps:
Go to 'My Domains' under 'Domains' in the left-hand column
Click the 'Manage' drop down and choose 'Unassign'
Click the green box that says 'Unassign'
Go to 'Assign' under 'Domains' in the left-hand column
Go to 'Subdomains' under 'Domains' in the left-hand column (If you don't click 'Assign first, then clicking 'Subdomains' takes you to a different page...)
Under the 'Existing Subdomains' header, find the subdomain with the Document Root you want to change and click the red trash can under 'Actions'
Now you can re-assign your domain as an addon or whatever and give it a new Document Root. (I should note, that none of these steps deleted my document root directory).
Go to 'Assign' under 'Domains' in the left-hand column
Follow the steps to assign an existing domain
