Hi

I have a script to install and it isks me to change wwwroot and dirroot. To be honest I have no idea which ones this are. I asked my hosting providers but their programmers were not there so i thought this is going to be the only place.

Can you please tell me which one is which?

$CFG->wwwroot = “here I have to write it”).
$CFG->dirroot = “here I have to write it”

The main folder where i have index.php (www.mydomain.com/index.php) is called public_html

Please anyone reply if you know this I would be very grateful..

Thank you

Your wwwroot would be your url, for example:
http://www.phpbuilder.com

Your dirroot would be your directory path:
Windows: 'c:\FoxServ\www\moodle\etc.....
*nix: /usr/local/bin/etc.....

You would usually have to select one or the other.

Hope this helps!

Call your hosting company, they can give you your root. Or if you have erro rreporting turned on make a page with a php error on it and it will give you the full path to the file starting with your root directory.

HOW DO U MAKE THE THE PHP ERROR? i DONT REALLY UNDERSATND

im not sure what wwwroot and dirroot are really supposed to be but im guessing wwwroot is the absolute path to your web folder and dirroot is the uri to where these scripts are you are uploaded.

this should give you both

<?php
echo "Your wwwroot is {$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}.<br />\nYour dirroot is ". dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']). "<br />\n";
?>

if you make that called info.php and save it in the same folder of this program you are trying to install, that should give you the info. if there is a documentation file or comments with the script, maybe you can tell us exactly what the programmer means by wwwroot and dirroot if my assumption here was wrong.
