Located my drupal in /var/www and according to this tut https://drupal.org/node/327731

that is where it should be but in other tuts it says it should be in /home/yoursite.com/public_html

I've moved mine now into public_html but since reading above tut I'm unsure.

how you handle your folder structure is up to you. using sub-directories allows more than one instance of an install.

agreed

now realise this, thanks VM.
