The UNIX file system is hierarchical in structure. The tilde character (~) is an alias for the Virtual Private Server home directory, accessible only by the Virtual Private Server administrator. Under the home directory are major directories identified by the following names:
| ~/bin | Contains Virtual Private Servers program files |
|---|---|
| ~/dev | Contains the null device node |
| ~/ftp | Location for anonymous FTP file access |
| ~/usr | Contains several important subdirectories, including user account home directories |
| ~/var | Contains user account e-mail and log files |
| ~/www | A link to the ~/usr/local/etc/httpd directory, which contains all web server configuration, log, and data files |
Under each of these major directories are many subdirectories. Those you should know about when getting started are listed here:
| ~/ | The Virtual Private Servers home directory and parent of all other Virtual Private Server directories |
|---|---|
| ~/www/cgi-bin | CGI and scripts directory |
| ~/www/htdocs | Your Web server's home directory. This is where your html documents go. |
| ~/www/logs | Contains the Web Server Log Files |
| ~/www/vhosts | Used for Virtual Subhosting |
