Path cannot be determined in HostGator Server

Which operating system are using, because the absolute path will differ for different operating systems like windows and linux. In case you are using windows, then you will need to make sure that you have declared your path as follows:

c:inetpubvhostsdomain.tldhttpdocs

You should make sure that you have  replaced the "domain.tld" with the actual domain name that you are using on that network.

home/cpanel-username/public_html/

In this case too, you will have to make sure that you have replaced the  "cpanel-username" with the actual cPanel user name that you are using on that network.

Some of the things you should note are as follows:

  • That the home folder is on the root of the server, and it cannot be accessed by shared customers
  • That the directory path home/username/public_html/folder has all website files, and it is called the "web root".
