Connected Tutorial(This question is a follow-up to this tutorial):
How To View the Source Code of an HTML DocumentI took over my deployed website which was programmed by an engineer that unfortunately, I cannot reach anymore.
I have access to the droplet IP and password, I managed to enter the back-end, but I am having trouble with the front-end. I would like to modify the Source Code, and update some data (img, link, add the blog section for better SEO and insert the google analytics code). All of the information I could find was involving wordpress :(
so my main question is …
How to access/download/modify the Source Code to paste the google analytics code?

Houston @bobbyiliev,
We got it ¡ :)
Thank you very much (I owe you some tacos)
So this is how it was solved
cd /var/www/network/html/resources/views/layouts
then to enter and edit I wrote
nano main.blade.php
There I paste the Google Analytics code into the header section because apparently is the best way to do it and then wait to see my access in the control panel but unfortunately, it didn´t … for some time until I changed my web browser and then it worked
Muchas Gracias
Hi there @iuyeteos,
It would generally depend on the type of website that you have. But by default your files could be stored at /var/www/html
so you could use the cd
command to go to that directory:
cd /var/www/html
Then using the ls
command you could see the contents of the directory:
ls -l
Once you find the file that you want to edit, you can do so with a text editor like nano
:
nano name_of_file.html
Let me know how it goes. Regards, Bobby
Yo @bobbyiliev ,
I think we are very close to do it.
I wrote
ls /var/www
and got html ibc network social
so I tried
ls /var/www/network
which is the page im Trying to update and got html
So I tried
ls /var/www/network/html
and got app artisan bootstrap composer.json composer.lock config database package.json phpunit.xml public readme.md resources routes server.php storage tests vendor webpack.mix.js
Then I tried
nano network.html
but it was empty and then I didn´t now what else to do :(
So I tried
ls /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
and got
ibctoluca.com networkcoworking.com social.networkcoworking.com
