IPlanet Website Root directory?
I have a Solaris 10 server running iPlanet and hosting a website. My issue is like Windows Server, attempting to locate the (/inetpub/wwwroot/) root directory for the website hosted. I've located iPlanet's location, but unsuccessful at finding where this website lives. I assume, like Windows, there's a typical directory where websites live. Any assistance, is greatly appreciated!

Have a look at the server configuration files.

More helpfully, try determining if you're running Apache or some other web-server. Then, hit Google and find some instructions on how to locate the files and then how to understand what they mean.

I'll be honest, and please don't take offense to what I'm about to say. If you have to ask this sort of question, you really are in trouble. Honestly, if you don't know this sort of stuff, you'd be better off having someone host your site for you. Or, I hope at least you're not running this website on the internet and instead it's on your local network and you're trying to learn.

If you are trying to learn, congratulations, it's a great way to be a success in life. Just be prepared to spend at lot of time figuring this out. I'd say a few months to grasp the fundamentals and another or so to be any good.

"iPlanet" is the webserver.

Then there should be a config directory here, and inside it the server configuration file I was talking about. As you do not tell what version of iPlanet Web Server you are running, it's hard to be more precise.

Another way to find where the web server root directory is located would be to monitor the error log file when trying to access an non existing page, the full path where the page is searched it displayed in the logs.

I'm able to locate a "website-obj.conf" file, in the /https-website/config directory. It provides such items as the "index-names" and such. However, it doesn't provide the directory location. It appears that it's running iPlanet 7.
