Answer 1

The cache folder is by default here:

/var/www/html/var/cache

or here:

/var/www/html/<Magento installation dir>/var/cache

By the way, if you’re not sure how to find a folder, you can always go to the root directory and do:

ls -R | grep -i cache

Update:

The name of the variable is cache_dir. It is taken from: app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Config/Options.php:

$this->_data['cache_dir']   = $this->_data['var_dir'].DS.'cache';
