Finding full path on a Linux server - Webmaster Forums - Webmaster forum for HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS and more

Hello,
I've been messing around with a perl script and it asks for the full path.
Can anyone tell me a way of finding this out?
I know with one the remote hosted windows server running asp we use, we uploaded a page with a little sctipt which gave us the info.
Not sure about this Remote hosted Linux server though?

Here's an example of what the script is asking for -

/usr/lib/httpd/hosts/OWNDOMAIN/htdocs/logs/referrer

TIA

The path to you script is held in the environment variable SCRIPT_FILENAME. Here is a short script that will display all the variables. You can save the code as enpath.pl and put it in your cgi-bin, this is how you call it. From your browser type: http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/enpath.pl

PHP Code:


		
			
#!/usr/bin/perl



use CGI;



$co = new CGI;



print

    $co->header,

    $co->start_html('CGI Environment Variables Example'),

    $co->center($co->h1('CGI Evironment Variables Example'));



foreach $key (sort keys %ENV) {



    print $co->b("$key=>$ENV{$key}"),

    $co->br;

}



print $co->end-html;

This should help you get the correct path..

Hey that's cool ~sandman. I forgot to chmod on the file, but after that it runs fine for me.

If you are trying find a file location you can just type in locate filename.abc and it will show you where it is
