This article will show you how to recreate your public_html directory if you have accidentally deleted it.

Creating default public_html

cd
mkdir public_html
chmod 711 public_html
cd public_html
mkdir cgi-bin
chmod 711 cgi-bin
echo 'Hi' > index.html
chmod 644 index.html

After issuing these commands you should now have a public_html folder as it was when you created your shell account, with an index file containing 'Hi' (without quotes).
