If edits do not appear or a domain shows another site’s content, verify the domain’s document root before changing application settings.
- Open cPanel → Domains and review the document root for the affected domain.
- Use File Manager to open that exact directory.
- Create or inspect a harmless identifying file and request it directly through the domain.
- If the domain was recently renamed or its document root changed, confirm the files were moved to the intended location.
- Check redirects that could be sending the browser to a different hostname.
DNS determines which server receives the request; the document root determines which directory that server uses for the domain.
