joomla webapp files location on Linux minimus

Hi quick one,

i used the prepackaged installer to setup my joomla 1.7 default site but i'm wondering where the files are located as want to change the template and the modules manually.
i `thought they would be located here /webspace/httpdocs
but all i see is the default blacknight hold php file.
i've had a look in the faq but no luck.
using the new cpanel.

thanks

i think i'm doing something silly but when i try access my application using either ftp or the file manager im gettin a failed to retrive directory listing.
i've used the $ID to try get to it but no joy

if you go with the hosting app version of joomla then there are limitations on what you can do,

advantage is hosters keep the core updated

disadvantage if you want to customise code in the core etc, then you'll need the installation in httpdocs, but you'll be updating security patches yourself.

Personally we find joomla works better in the httpdocs, more freedom there.

Depends what you intend doing with it later.
