Structure
of your Web-Space ?
-
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
