Where do I find things on a cPanel / WHM dedicated server?
Where do I find things on a cPanel / WHM dedicated server? If you are trying to find a program, login to the shell.
Typing "whereis program", where "program" is the application you
are looking for, will show you one or more possibilites for what you
are looking for. If you have more than one copy of a program, for
example in /usr/bin/ and another in /usr/local/bin/, typing "which
program" will show you the application that will be called first by the
shell. If you can't find it at all, typing "locate program" will show
you every file that matches "program"
Some of the most common programs:
/usr/sbin/sendmail
/usr/bin/perl
/bin/mail
/usr/bin/php
