Has the directory structure changed?

[jcarlson]

I have a PERL script running which has the following variable set:

$private_dir = "/home/<user name>/files/";

I'm now getting an "Internal Server Error" on that script when just yesterday (and for months prior) it was working perfectly...

Has HG made any changes to the way user directories are structured (i.e. the path to your root directory is no longer "home" followed by "user name")?

Thanks for your help,

You can see the path in cPanel.

Hi quietFinn,

In which section? I don't see it on the primary page of cpanel?

All I see are the paths to perl and sendmail:

Path to PERL: /usr/bin/perl
Path to sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail

Well you see it if you use RVskin

well ok... make a file like this:

<?php
echo $DOCUMENT_ROOT;
?>

save it, like path.php, and upload it, and when you execute it:
http://www.yoursite.com/path.php

you see the path

Thanks, quietFinn...

Surpringly enough I had actually exceeded my disk quota without even knowing it (no emails were sent out, unless the corporate SPAM blocker trapped them on me)...

So I just started cleaning up some stuff, and got well under my quota, and now everything runs perfectly agan...

It's stange though, because, all of the basic HTML and images load fine even when you've exceeded your quota... I guess that's a good thing, though (it's nice of them not to shut the sites down entirely when you've exceeded quota).


Thanks for your help!
