Basic Server Information and Paths

Most Important Paths:

Into which directory do your Website's HTML and image files go?

Your Website's HTML and image files go into the httpdocs folder.
(with exception of secure files which go into the SSL secured httpsdocs directory)

The absolute path (if ever needed) is:
/home/httpd/vhosts/YourDomain.com/httpdocs

(This is equivalent to the "public_html" folder on many other servers.)

Your Website's CGI scripts (if any) may go into the cgi-bin folder.
PLEASE READ THE "CGI-BIN" ENTRY IN OUR "TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS" SECTION BELOW.
The absolute path is:
/home/httpd/vhosts/YourDomain.com/cgi-bin

In other words, the CGI-BIN folder is outsite the main folder.
PLEASE NOTE: You can execute CGI scripts in any directory, not just the cgi-bin directory !

What is the path to Perl?
/usr/bin/perl
In most CGI scripts the standard path line is therefore:   #!/usr/bin/perl

And the path to sendmail?
/usr/lib/sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail
