 ==== Accessing Log Files ====
 your log files are ///var/log/nginx/{VHOSTDOMAIN}// and ///var/log/nginx/{VHOSTDOMAIN}.err//
+==== Web Development on VHOST ====
+Some tools you may want to use (for example the [[nano|The nano editor]]) are in ///vhost/pkg/bin//.  Please be sure to add that to your PATH when logging into your VHOST server.
+One thing you can do is in your ''~/.bashrc'' or ''~/.profile'' (shared through all your cluster instances), add a line to add //vhost/pkg/bin// to your command line path if it is present. Add a line like this:
+  # Set PATH so it includes VHOST bin if it exists; that is, if you are logged in to VHOST
+  if [ -d "/vhost/pkg/bin" ] ; then
+    PATH="/vhost/pkg/bin:${PATH}"

+==== What about my VHOST folders in my user space? ====
+The old way to access your vhost files was to look for a folder named after your domain under your cluster ''~/html'' folder. You may still have these existing folders and files, but making changes to them directly will no longer sync them to the folders on norge, so you should not use them going forward.
