  • How to find absolute path?

    • A bit of a noob question, but I forget an easy way to find the absolute path on my server.

      i.e. the one that goes in your configuration.php file.

    • In your Joomla! admin area:

      Site--->Global Configuration and click on the 'Server' tab.

      Hope this helps Daniel

    • That's a good question. What about using your ftp program to find the absolute path?

    • Sometimes it only gives a relative path from my user account such as the folder container public_html which isnt absolute. A programme or script would be great, havent seen one yet

    • The reason I need it it is because the config file is broken :P

      tried my ftp client. it's just relative. :(

    • not many accounts on shared hosts have shell access, although often this can be requested.

      have you tried /home/accountname/public_html ? <<< it's quite common.
