bash doesn't show working directory

    Hey everyone,

    For some reason when I SSH into my server I get:

    Code:
    user@server:~$
    Instead of:
    Code:
    user@server:/home/user/$
    How can I get it so that it prints the working directory instead of ~ I haven't done anything to this server really but install ISPConfig. It was just set up yesterday, and I know that it was working before and I'm just noticing the ~.

    Here is my .bashrc:

    Code:
    ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.
    # see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc)
    # for examples
     
    # If not running interactively, don't do anything
    [ -z "$PS1" ] && return
     
    # don't put duplicate lines in the history. See bash(1) for more options
    export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups
    # ... and ignore same sucessive entries.
    export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth
     
    # check the window size after each command and, if necessary,
    # update the values of LINES and COLUMNS.
    shopt -s checkwinsize
     
    # make less more friendly for non-text input files, see lesspipe(1)
    [ -x /usr/bin/lesspipe ] && eval "$(lesspipe)"
     
    # set variable identifying the chroot you work in (used in the prompt below)
    if [ -z "$debian_chroot" ] && [ -r /etc/debian_chroot ]; then
        debian_chroot=$(cat /etc/debian_chroot)
    fi
     
    # set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we "want" color)
    case "$TERM" in
        xterm-color) color_prompt=yes;;
    esac
     
    # uncomment for a colored prompt, if the terminal has the capability; turned
    # off by default to not distract the user: the focus in a terminal window
    # should be on the output of commands, not on the prompt
    #force_colored_prompt=yes
     
    if [ -n "$force_color_prompt" ]; then
        if [ -x /usr/bin/tput ] && tput setaf 1 >&/dev/null; then
            # We have color support; assume it's compliant with Ecma-48
            # (ISO/IEC-6429). (Lack of such support is extremely rare, and such
            # a case would tend to support setf rather than setaf.)
            color_prompt=yes
        else
            color_prompt=

    case "$TERM" in

        PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"'

    I gave that a try, but now it actually says $PWD where it should print the working directory.
