cPanel + Git + Subdirectories = confusion..?!

Hey y'all,

I'm running into a weird issue while moving some sites from a DirectAdmin to cPanel setup, specifically one that is primarily static but has to be git controlled.

I've added the domain through cPanel -> Domains, and set the document root to /repositories/sitename

After that I created two different repos through cPanel > Git Version Control.
Repo 1, branch main:
"sitename", repo path being "/home/user/repositories/sitename"
This works when visiting through a hosts change and site is loading super fast, verified with custom headers added that it's loading from the correct place.. all fine and dandy.

Next up, repo 2, branch subdir:
"sitename_subdir", repo path being /home/user/repositories/sitename/subdir
Cloning the repo works, and the correct folder (subdir) is being created along with all files being there, great. However, it does not work, when visiting sitename.com/subdir I just get a 404. It does not seem to read any of the .htaccess headers for the subdir either.

Am I missing something completely, or shouldn't this just.. work? Is it some cPanel craziness?

I'm going insane..

Thanked by 1emgh

    If no

    No bueno. I did add this header to my subdir site: Header Set Site: "subdir" and a similar one as "main" for my main site. curling the subdir/index.html, I see its pulling in main header instead..?? :D

    Did you try not doing anything custom htaccess wise?

    Because I refuse to believe with 0 changes a index.html in a site’s subdir doesn’t work

    Correct:

    [sitename@hodor repositories]$ cat sitename/.htaccess
Header Set Site: "main"
[sitename@hodor repositories]$ cat sitename/subdir/.htaccess
Header Set Site: "subdir"

    I've tried to also run curl with --resolve flags to make sure it's loading from the correct server but yeah, no, I'm at a loss lol.

    Edit:
    oh and before "you don't even have the filesZ11!!"

    [sitename@hodor repositories]$ find . -iname "index.html"
./sitename/subdir/index.html
./sitename/index.html
