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

I want to get the path to apply to chown command in this thread https://forumweb.hosting/13371-how-...-(chmod)-of-files-folders-or-sub-folders.html

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 ~]#

Looks like you have no cPanel on your server. Perhaps you need to find out the DocumentRoot of each of your domains from your web server configuration manually. Either way, be very careful with "chown -R" command..it can interrupt your website functioning if you don't know your server set up completely.
