Structure of your Web Space :
Every username "owns" a structure of disk subdirectories in the Linux file
system. The "root" of this structure is the "home" directory, found at
path "/home/username". You will not have access to /home directory - only
at "delhi" subdirectory under it (i.e. /home/delhi).
Note that this is somewhat similar to the MS-DOS directory structure,
except that there is no drive letter and forward slashes are used
instead of backward slashes. You will find following sub-directories
(or sub-folders) within your web-space
- /etc
- /logs
- /mail
- /public_ftp
- /public_html
- /tmp
- /www

Take Special notice of sub-directory /www :
Ignore all sub-directories except /public_html and
/www. Files placed in "public_html" are visible to remote browsers over the
Internet. As many clients are used to having their main directory
referred to as "www", we have created another directory by name www.
When www is attempted to be accessed, the directory is automatically
redirected to the correct public_html directory.
All you need to do is to place files in "www" sub-directory to
make it accessible by web browsers from any part of the world.
It is strongly advised
that you do not tinker with any other sub-directory within your
web-space, even if you consider yourself an 'expert'. We shall
not be responsible if your file system crashes because of "playing"
with system files. Recovery, if possible, will be expensive on
your part |
