Finding root directory

I need to verify my domain as I am changing email providers so I have to create a folder and copy an html file in it so I can get mydomain.com/newfolder/file.html I tried to put this folder everywhere, in every folder but I can't find the right folder (the root directory). This should be easy, and it should work, what am i missing?

I use the web2py framework.

That sounds like it needs to be a static file. I'm no web2py expert, but it sounds like you need to put it into a folder called "static" inside one of your apps, maybe the default one? There's some info here http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/04/the-core

Yes, I tried the 'static' folder first, it doesn't work. Then I tried every variation you can imagine, I put the folder everywhere you can put a folder but nothing worked.

Like I say, I really don't know enough about web2py. You could try asking on the web2py mailing list?
