Directories Empty?

in Command Line
When I’m at work at my Windows 7 desktop. I use PuTTY to access the Web Server. The server is running Linux Ubuntu VER 8.10. I logon as root and I see the directories and I am able to maneuver up and down the directories. But there are NO files in the directories when I type ls. I am almost positive there are files in them because the Web site is working.
What can be the problem?
What is the difference logging on as super user or root?
THANKS

There should be no difference between using su and being root, the files should exist in both cases. Have you attempted to use tree or find to test the directories to see if maybe ls is just not giving the full output?0

$sudo ifconfig
and
#ifconfig
are different. When trying sudo, your PATH variable will not be set as root PATH dir.
logging in as super user is , infact, root isn't it?
Not clear about your question.0 -

It means the following:[[email protected] ~]$ sudo echo $PATH
[sudo] password for skorzen:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/skorzen/.local/bin:/home/skorzen/bin
[[email protected] ~]$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/skorzen/.local/bin:/home/skorzen/bin
[[email protected] skorzen]# echo $PATH
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
Do you note the difference?0
