Answer 1

Create a PHP file called whereami.php with the following contents and upload to the root folder of your website:

<?php
  print 'Current dir is ' . dirname(__FILE__);
?>

Run the file by browsing to yoursitename.com/whereami.php and this will show you the path to the root folder of your website.

By default, the logs and tmp folders are sub folders of the root path.

Remember to delete the whereami.php folder when you are finished.

Answer 2

In cPanel hosting this usually looks like:

/home/username/public_html/tmp
/home/username/public_html/logs

In your system, it should be similar, but for the exact path better consult your hosting provider.

Note that it's very likely that this information is available and visible somewhere within your hosting account / hosting control panel, so you may find it by looking around.
