Linux Application Paths - What is the path to ...?

All of the paths in this article use an example home directory of /home/username. For the correct home directory path to replace this with, you may check the Home Directory path listed in your cPanel under GENERAL INFORMATION in the left-hand sidebar.

Once you have identified your correct home directory, simply replace /home/username with the correct directory path.

Here is a list of commonly used paths:

webroot path/home/username/public_html
