I want to edit 'my.cnf' file on server.But it not found under 'etc' folder. where can I find it in cpanel - files?
MySQL's configuration file is editable only by root. You can see it only through SSH

I added a new php file to directory with my theme. But, I am unable to see it on the internet.
When I edit a working file from same directory, it works.
Moreover, I added a new page from wordpress dashboard. I do not see the corresponding file on cpanel.
I think there might be a problem with authorization.
The default permission scheme should be:
Folders - 755
Files - 644
I'm using WampServer64 and I'm trying to upload some dll files to
my website without. However I'm not having any luck, they are getting blocked for some reason. Does anyone know why and how to solve this problem?
The solution is to change the settings in php.ini located in
apache folder and not in the one located in the php folder
to check if the changes have been made run phpinfo();
I am using XAMPP and apache as webserver. I have permission problems with a website of mine that requires write access to a temporary folder in the project folder /htdocs/myProject/tmp
It think my problem is that my site runs on my localhost and I copied the project with my regular desktop user into the htdocs folder. Apache seems to lack write permissions.
My question is now: How do I found out which user group apache belongs to in order to make that group owner of the folder? That should fix my permission problem, shouldn't?
As far as I understand, the Apache (Webserver) has an own user called "www-data". Maybe an already answered question on SO has a solution, which you can use.
The used command relies on a linux-based system and that you navigated in a terminal to a directory, where /htdocs is located.
This command in the answer of the link below allows you as a humanoid user to write and work in this specified directory.
You add www-data (Apache) to use this directory, too.
New files of that chown'ed directory will 'inherit' the owners.

www-data permissions
I have a dropbox account which sync all my website folders. and it works well on windows using my apache to test, because apache can find the directory. I have another development computer using Ubuntu 13, and i changed the document root in apache to /home/jacques/dropbox but it cant find the directory , so i opened my home folder. i saw the directory there, so i tried to access it using the terminal, it said that the directory doesnt exist.
I did right click dropbox and that said that the directory is in /home/dropbox and /home/jacques/dropbox
am i missing something important here ?
There are a few things to check here -
First is that on Ubuntu the default Dropbox directory is
/home/username/Dropbox not /home/username/dropbox. Note the capital
'D', linux file systems are case-sensitive. Make sure that you specify it with the capital D in the DocumentRoot declaration.
The second is to check what user Apache is running as and making
sure that it has permissions to view your Dropbox directory. On
Ubuntu, the default is www-data, so you might want to add yourself
to the www-data group and change the group on the Dropbox folder to
be www-data.
Alternatively, you can change the user and group that Apache runs as by editing the /etc/apache2/envvars file and by making
these edits:
export APACHE_RUN_USER=jacques
export APACHE_RUN_GROUP=jacques
You will need to restart Apache after this, and you may need to update the owner of the /var/log/apache2 directory to be you also.
I may need to modify our .htaccess file. Problem is I can't find it. We have several subdomains along side each other in the vhosts directory, and each subdomain has an associated .htpasswd file. How can find where the .htaccess file is.
Obviously, I didn't set this up and I'm certainly not known as an unix admin expert.
. (dot) files are hidden by default on Unix/Linux systems. Most likely, if you know they are .htaccess files, then they are probably in the root folder for the website.
If you are using a command line (terminal) to access, then they will only show up if you use:
ls -a
If you are using a GUI application, look for a setting to "show hidden files" or something similar.
If you still have no luck, and you are on a terminal, you can execute these commands to search the whole system (may take some time):
cd /
find . -name ".htaccess"
This will list out any files it finds with that name.
The .htaccess is either in the root-directory of your webpage or in the directory you want to protect.
Make sure to make them visible in your filesystem, because AFAIK (I'm no unix expert either) files starting with a period are invisible by default on unix-systems.
