Finding a folder name?

How do I find all folders with a specific name? I'm specifically looking for apache/src but all the find commands I run just come up with hundreds of different folders.

find / -name apache (all directories or files named "apache")

find /usr -name apache (all directories or files in /usr named "apache")

find / -name src | grep apache (all directories or files named "src" with "apache" in the pathname)

You can also try

Code:

#find / -type d -wholename "*apache/src"

Thanks for the replies. Those definitely worked, but still having problems finding it. Going to contact my VPS provider, see if they can tell me.

simply use

find / -name <foldername>

or

find <specfic folder> -name <find_foldername>

eg: find / -name squid
