The absolute server path to the directory.

[mdadnan]

Hi

I am trying to install a GPL php script with mysql database and it asks with a blank field that says "The absolute server path to the directory."
and in the blank field I have tried inserting:

1. "H:/server/apache/htdocs/script/"
2. "/script/"
3. "/server/apache/htdocs/script/"
4. "H:\server\apache\htdocs\script\"

but none of them work. Can someone please tell me how I should define it and which one of the above should work on my computer apache server?

Thanks.

Absolute paths sometimes need a trailing slash sometimes they don't.

If this is on a windows computer (which it looks like it is) just right click the file or directory you need the absolute path to. Copy'n'paste the path into the absolute path box.

If it doesn't work take off the trailing "/"

if you install an environmental script then it will give you all the info about your setup.

For PERL try http://www.scriptsolutions.com/progr...erldiver.shtml
or for PHP you can create a PHP Info script

[MishY]

To create a phpinfo script as Degsy suggests:

Open Notepad. Copy'n'paste the following into the notepad window:

PHP Code:

<?
phpinfo();
?>

Save the file as phpinfo.php and save it in your webservers document root.

Then load the page in your browser.
