How should I pass Namecheap's Domain Control Validation with http and where exactly should i upload my file?

Hi there,

Regarding your document root, you can find it in your webserver’s configuration file. For example if you are using Nginx, you could check the Nginx server block at /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/your_site.conf.

It would usually look something like this:

    root /var/www/html/;

Then once you know your document root, then inside that directory you have to create the two folders, you can use the following command:

First cd into your document root that you’ve got from your Nginx server block:

cd /var/www/html

Then create the directories:

mkdir -p .well-known/pki-validation/

Then once you have the folder, you can add the filename.txt provided by NameCheap inside the .well-known/pki-validation/ folder.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards, Bobby
