Hi: I have a client who removed his www folder. I reinstalled it and did a one page publish but nothing happens. www folder remains empty. Suggestions?

  Thanks for this. I did it and the folder appears and is populated but I still get an error 'You don't have permission to access / on this server.' There must be something else he deleted as well.

  Hello @Peoplespaces, The information in the previous post is correct. Ensure you create the symbolic link while logged in via SSH as the account username. Thank you.

  I spoke too soon. When I did that it also changed the public_html permissions to 0777. I change it back to 0750 and the same error comes up again.
