When you configure a cgi script for any server, it may ask you to set variables such as the base, relative, and CGI directory/url settings.
** In case of cPanel/WHM, DirectAdmin and Interworx based servers the home directory will be /home/USERNAME/
Your webpath will be
/home/USERNAME/public_html/
which will serve:
http://www.your_domain.com/
So if you need the path to your cgi-bin it would be:
/home/USERNAME/public_html/cgi-bin/
which would serve:
http://www.your_domain.com/cgi-bin/
** In case of Plesk based servers the home directory will be /var/www/vhosts/DOMAIN.TLD/
Your webpath will be
/var/www/vhosts/DOMAIN.TLD/httpdocs/
which will serve:
http://www.your_domain.com/
So if you need the path to your cgi-bin it would be:
/var/www/vhosts/DOMAIN.TLD/cgi-bin/
which would serve:
http://www.your_domain.com/cgi-bin/

Use the home directory in HTML code
You can then easily make copies of this file and swap them instantly by unmounting existing image and mounting new one Pros: Easy swap between backup versions Completely transparent process Cons: If current image file is on shared drive, performance will be reduced It will consume considerably more space because all 500 megs will be preallocated. Considering your scenario, you may either a) backup everything into Tar or Zip archives — this way permissions will be intact b) Make virtual disk file which will be stored on shared windows drive and mounted to /home/pi How to do scenario A: Copy backup.tar.gz to shared drive to unpack: Pros: One-line backup Takes small amount of space Cons:
Use the home directory in HTML code
I am using the script from «Peter Riber» here: How do I access and read a local file from html+javascript page running locally to display a local file on a html page.
Basically, it uses an iframe where the source is the path to my local file:
and it also uses a «readfile» function.
My question is: how to change in the HTML the hard-coded /PATH/TO/HOME/ in the src to the home directory?
In bash you could use ~/ or $HOME. Please let me know if you also have an answer for Windows. Thank you.
I don’t think you can get your OS user’s home directory path just by using Javascript and HTML. You can instead try to use a relative path to access the local resource. The path would be relative to your server’s document root (if you start the path with / ) or the location of the HTML document (if you start the path with ./ ).

How can I replace my home directory without coorupting my system?
After setting up my Raspberry Pi, I made an image to make reverting to older software states easier. Recently I wanted to do that so I saved the content of my /home/pi folder, formated the sd-card and wrote the image onto it.
So far everything worked fine. Then I tried to simply delete the complete /home/pi folder and replace it with my previously saved folder from the old image. Now it seems like all files are there. But it doesnt boot correctly.
At some point it just stops to boot. I can then use it normally like the terminal, but Desktop is not starting.
So, how can I replace my home directory the right way so I don’t make any damage to the system?
edit: I just tried to do this again.
- sudo cp -a /home/pi/fileserver/backup /home/backup (i mounted a network drive in fileserver. Since network is on windows i assume all permissions are already gone here)
- cp -a /home/pi/. /home/original
- sudo umount /home/pi/fileserver
- rm -r /home/pi/
- mv /home/backup /home/pi
- sudo chmod -R 755 /home/pi (So far everything still works)
- sudo reboot
After reboot it doesnt boot correctly anymore. When I wait long enough I see errors of X Server.
That’s quite doubtful approach to archiving the data. First of all, as you mentioned, windows will remove the permission bits. Running chmod -R 755 afterwards has very bad consequences because some programs in order to work require very specific access bits on some files (ssh keys for example). Not to mention that making everything executable is bad for security.
Considering your scenario, you may either a) backup everything into Tar or Zip archives — this way permissions will be intact b) Make virtual disk file which will be stored on shared windows drive and mounted to /home/pi
How to do scenario A:
cd /home/pi tar cvpzf backup.tar.gz . cd /home/pi tar xpvzf backup.tar.gz How to do scenario B:
1) Create a new file to hold the virtual drive volume:
cd /mnt/YourNetworkDriveMountPoint fallocate -l 500M HomePi.img dd if=/dev/zero of=HomePi.img bs=1M count=500 mkfs -t ext3 HomePi.img mount -t auto -o loop HomePi.img /home/pi/ 500 means the disk will be 500 megabytes in size This way your whole pi will be saved as a file on windows shared drive, but all the content will be in ext3 so all permissions are preserved. I suggest you though to keep the current version image file on Pi device itself and the old versions on shared drive. Just copy files over if you need to switch because otherwise if all images are on shared drive then read/write performance will be 100% dependant on network speed.
You can then easily make copies of this file and swap them instantly by unmounting existing image and mounting new one
- If current image file is on shared drive, performance will be reduced
- It will consume considerably more space because all 500 megs will be preallocated.
- Pi user must be logged off during image swap for obvious reasons
Now, as for issues with Desktop not displayed, you need to check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for detailed messages. Likely this is caused by messed permissions. I would try to rename/remove your current Xorg settings and cache which are located somewhere in /home/Pi/.config/ (depends on what you’re using — XFCE, Gnome, etc.) and let X server recreate them. But again, before doing this please check Xorg.0.log for exact messages — maybe there’s another error. If you need any further help please comment to this answer
