# Guide for Obtaining Parameters Manually

## Find Apache's Document Root
Normally the configuration file is stored in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf or /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Execute the following command(s) when you are inside Apache configuration directory. This would return the DocumentRoot directory. You can cross check to be doubly sure.

```grep -i 'DocumentRoot' httpd.conf```
OR
```grep -R "DocumentRoot" sites-enabled```

## Find nGINX's Document Root
Execute the following command when you are inside the nginx directory(/etc/nginx/)
```grep -R "DocumentRoot sites-enabled```

## Find MySQL's mysqldump Path
```which mysqldump```

## Find MongoDB's mongodump Path
```which mongodump```

## Using mongodump
```sudo mongodump --db newdb --out /var/backups/mongobackups/`date +"%m-%d-%y"````
