AWS/EC2/Ubuntu/Nginx - Where is web root?

I can't seem to find the web root location on a AWS EC2 Ubuntu instance with Nginx web server. I've tried searching via SSH in terminal and SFTP using FileZilla (pem). I've seen a lot of comments that suggest looking in these directories, but I don't see anything.

/var/www/
/etc/apache/
/home/ubuntu/

I didn't create this instance so I'm a bit lost. Any advice for an AWS newbie?

I ended up finding the location by switching to root shell with:

sudo -i
find / -name "filename.php"

For me, the files were in:

/srv/users/mywebsitename/apps/mywebsitename/public

Also, I wasn't aware that my question was off-topic. Maybe it can still help someone...
