Where is htdocs in OpenShift cartridge?

Question

I've setup an OpenShift account, and used a CodeIgniter quickstart. From the OpenShift Management console, I click through to my URL, and the default welcome_message of CodeIgniter shows up, as expected.

Now I use WinSCP to connect up to my remote site, and find a folder structure that is nothing I recognise. I've tried searching for htdocs, and also "welcome_message.php" but am not having any luck.

Can anyone point me to where I might find the htdocs folder etc on OpenShift?

Thanks in advance.

You should not use WinSCP to push code up to your application. You certainly can but you lose out on a lot of the functionality. The proper way to push code to OpenShift is via git.

To answer your question, the application root is located at:

~/app-root/runtime/repo/php/

Let me know your thoughts on the CI quickstart. I wrote in almost 18 months ago and it probably needs an update.
