This is the absolute path for your Linux hosting account:
/home/content/1/2/3/username/html/
Where "/1/2/3/" are the first three letters of your user name and "username" is the user name you used to set up your hosting account. For example, if your user name were "johndoe," then your absolute path would be:
/home/content/j/o/h/johndoe/html
If you have a CGI/Perl or Java enabled account the system path to our Perl interpreter is:
#!/usr/bin/perl
CGI binaries must end in .cgi or .pl and can be run from any folder on your Web site if you are running Hosting Configuration 2.0. Otherwise, they must reside in the /cgi directory. For more information, see How can I find what hosting configuration my account is running?. You cannot use /cgi-bin/ with our hosting system.
