Seventh step, virtual directory settings

If the site has a requirement to publish from a directory other than the home directory, the virtual directory needs to be established. It is conceivable that the virtual directory is not in the home directory, but the user does not feel that when accessing the virtual directory, it feels as if it is in the home directory. As a result, the virtual directory is more secure than the home directory because users cannot use this information to destroy your site.
