How to get the absolute path to the public_html folder with SSH?

djsmiley2k · Oct 20, 2017

Normally I used this command to find current path for the folder on SSH that moved to there

Code:

pwd

but I would like to know all current path to public_html for all users on my VPS. Is that possible?
for instances
/home/myusername1/public_html
/home/myusername2/public_html
/home/myusername3/public_html

and how?

Are you running cPanel on this VPS? If so, the path structure is likely to be the same for all users. Perhaps I am not understanding your purpose behind needing this though?

This depends on your requirement and the platform you are using. It needs custom scripting / checks to get all user dir details if you are in a custom set up. if you are using cPanel it is fairly easy. But what actual information you are looking for? Do you want to get the DocRoot of all domains / users? If so, following command will be helpful for you.

grep DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

Where to run this command?

I run it on SSH and returned this

[root@server ~]# grep DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
grep: /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf: No such file or directory
[root@server ~]#
