You can find the configuration file from documentation of odoo, from where you install the odoo. In documentation of installation of odoo addons path mantion. And for change path you can change it as follows:
addons_path = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/odoo/addons, /opt/custom
Here before comma older path and after comma newer addons path in odoo.config file.

Hello Mohammed Salah,
Type the command "locate" in the terminal and find any file path.
e.g :
Vostro-3446*:~$ locate odoo.conf*
*And also you can refer odoo documents*
https://www.odoo.com/documentation/9.0/setup/deploy.html
Thanks

thank you, i did try this command, i found only one file in this directory:
/odoo/odoo-server/debian/odoo.conf and this the file contents:
[options]
; This is the password that allows database operations:
; admin_passwd = admin  db_host = False  db_port = False  db_user = odoo db_password = False  addons_path = /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/odoo/addons
and this file not showing all the addon paths that the server use, and when adding new addon path and restart the server its not functioning.
