Q: What is the path to absolute path to my account?
A: You have root access on your account. Which means you can go to the lowest directory structure.
Your html pages are stored in /home/httpd/vhosts/yourdomain.com/ and your cgi scripts are stored in /home/httpd/vhosts/yourdomain.com/cgi-bin
So if you have a program that requires the absolute path to your cgi-bin, this would be /home/httpd/vhosts/yourdomain.com/cgi-bin
Q: What compilers do you make available and were can I find them?
A: We do not make any compilers available to you on your virtual account. However, if you have a special need, please submit a support ticket and we will gladly review your request.

Q: How do I find the path to a particular program?
A: This can easily be done through SSH. Once you have established a connection to your account via SSH, you can use the "whereis" utility to find the path to the program you are trying to locate. For example, if you wanted to find the path to the "grep" program, you would type the following from the command line:
"whereis grep"
The program would then return any and all possible paths to this particular program.
