When I was using Plesk it was simply under /var/www, however it is empty when I have at least 2 sites now on a cPanel machine. What is cPanel's architecture in terms of storing files?

  • This question appears to be off-topic because it is about [`working with a service provider's management interface, such as cPanel`](http://serverfault.com/help/on-topic). – HopelessN00b Jan 13 '15 at 21:01

The path is usually /home/USERNAME for a user's cPanel-related files. The public-html directory is where web files actually sit (i.e. http://example.org/index.html would be pulled from /home/example/public_html/index.html assuming the cPanel username would be example and that the user would be hosting example.org on his occount).

Assuming you are using a plain vanilla install on a Centos server, then cPanel accounts are created under /home

The actual website root will be under: /home/accountname/public_html and a helpful link: /home/accountname/www

Edit: thanks for that hint re not using angle brackets in these comments

  • I think you must have put *username* in angle brackets and it was stripped out. try `*username*` instead of `` – Josh Apr 05 '10 at 22:25
