How to Check Why a cPanel Website Uses the Wrong Document Root

A domain can serve unexpected content when its document root points to an old directory, a subdomain overlaps, or a migration left files in multiple locations.

What to check

Review the domain mapping in cPanel, aliases and subdomains, configured document root, rewrite rules, and recent migration changes. Confirm the intended files before changing the mapping.

Recommended next step

Set one verified document root and test the domain, redirects, and application paths. Informatix Systems can review cPanel hosting and website configuration.
