    Hello,

    using Linux, check /var/log directory
    You will get plenty of info there.

    Cheers !

    Specially these two:

    /var/log/messages - will show most of the activities on the server, also many services log directly there
    /var/log/secure - will show any ssh logins or login attempts

    To find a specific folder you have two options:

    1) Run "updatedb" (it will update the internal system database with all files and folders location) and then "locate <directory_or_file>" and it will print all matches.

    2) Assuming your sites are under /home run: find /home | grep <directory_or_file>
