help finding webserver install on linux server

[THRiLL KiLL]

here is the problem i have.

I need to access a wordpress installation folder so i can modify some files.

before you ask.

1. i dont have access to cpanel. (we are unable to contact the person who has the information, so i am trying to help out)
2. the provider is godaddy
3. i have installed a wordpress file manager.

the issue i have is that i can set the directory where the wordpress filemanager starts. if i set it to \ (root) i can see the entire os directory. but i have no clue as to where godaddy puts the website.

anyone have an idea?

Not sure, assuming you have shell access, it may be in your home folder. Not the webserver but the wordpress php code, apache is most likely in /sbin/ or /usr/sbin/. Your php files are mostlikely in a subfolder of you home directory possibly ~/html or ~/www or ~/nameofsite

It helps to know the distro and the output of the command "uname -a" display this.

Do you have a dedicated server/VM for this project, or is it part of a shared hosting infrastructure?

If it's dedicated I think by default it's in /var/html if I recall. I usually end up changing that.

cPanel usually maps a domain to a Linux account, for example Google.com would have a homedir at:
/home/google

The Web docroot is normally then at /home/google/public_html

/var/www I thought.
