Folders/Structures of my web hosting

Discussion in 'Web Hosting' started by Wai_Wai, Sep 21, 2005.

    Structure of my web hosting:

    Here's what I see
    .cpanel-datastore
    .fantasticodata
    .neomail
    .trash
    etc
    mail
    public_ftp
    public_html
    tmp
    www​

    Although I may be able to guess from the names of the folders, it is an unreliable way to learn/understand.

    Does anyone know what all these folders are?
    What're their uses?
    Any article talking about them?

    Thanks.

    This is the reason:

    public_html ------- the main folder where your site is
    tmp --------------- a trash folder again?!?

    I noticed that you are using fantastico, which can automatically install may programs with one mouseclick. I noticed in another thread that you are having trouble installing Drupal. Just open up the controlpanel and install Drupal with Fantastico.

    I have a similar setup, all of my public files are in the www folder.

    But the problem is the Drupal in Fantastico is not up-to-date.
    It's just 4.6.2
    The newest is 4.6.3
    That's why I do a manual install.
