I was told to find the "Full Server Path" to a directory because I'm installing a script on one of my sites. lol, I was told to ask my host what it is but I guess I'm the host since I got a server through EV1. So, how would I find out the full server path to a directory?

Thnx in advance icon_smile.gif

The full server path is the directory,starting at /, where you want it to go. For example, if you want to put something in directory 'foo' and it lives in /home/virtual/domain.com, the full server path should be /home/virtual/domain.com/foo

If you're on the server and in the directory where you want to put the script, you can simply type 'pwd' (without the quotes) to obtain the full directory path as well.

Hope this helps.
