how to check where a link points to
Gouri Kulkarni
I'm working on a web server . I have no idea where the directory
/var/www/html points to.
It's linked to some other place. What command can help me do this?
Thanks,
Gouri

First, it's not likely linked. To see if there is a symbolic link on the directory run this command:
ls -ld /var/www/html
What is more likely is that the web server is configured to use a different "DocumentRoot". You have to located your apache configuration files. The location varies from distro to distro but try:
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
Apache also has a modular configuration option. Run this command to see what other files httpd.conf is configured to bring in:
grep "^Include" httpd conf
The directories listed there are relative to either /etc/httpd or /etc/apache2. Check the files it includes for other "DocumentRoot" configurations. They may be for VirtualHosts.

It does have other conf files included .
