Hello ,
If you are trying to find a program, log into the shell.
Type the command:
# whereis <program>
where 'program' is the program you are looking for, will show you one or more possibilities for what you are looking for.
If you have more than one copy of a program, say one in /usr/bin and another in /usr/local/bin/ ,
typing "which program" will show you which one will be called first.
If you can't find it at all, type command:
# locate <program>
will show you everyfile that matches "program".
Some of the most common programs :
• /usr/sbin/sendmail
• /usr/bin/perl
• /bin/mail
• /usr/bin/php
Default locations for most commonly used configuration files and important directories:
Exim
• /etc/exim.conf
• /var/log/exim_mainlog
• /var/log/exim_rejectlog
• /etc/valiases/
• /etc/vfilters/
• /home/username/.forward
MySQL
• /root/.my.cnf
• /etc/my.cnf
• /var/lib/mysql/
Apache
• /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
• /usr/local/apache/domlogs/
System
• /var/log/messages
• /var/log/dmesg
