You may obtain the path using an environment variable
in Perl -> my $path = $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'}:
en PHP ->$path = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"];

You can also use /home/sites/www.yourdomain.xxx but the former method is preferable.


Otherwise, create a file called path.php (with Notepad for example) containing:

<?php
phpinfo();
echo realpath("path.php");
?>

then upload it to your site. Type the address for of file into your browser, and you will find the path at the bottom of the page.


To find the path for a specific directory, e.g. the "data" folder found at the same level as the "web" folder, you make a call to realpath:

 echo realpath("/home/sites/www.yourdomain.xxx/data"); 

You will obtain a path in this format: /home/www/b0047a17ab5ce2b774c2f870ae3d7a40/data
