For example if you install apache (via xampp) on a local windows machine your physical path could be something like this:

C:\Programme\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs

but your virtual path is in this case http://localhost

If you have running your site on webhost server, your
provicer will tell you the physical path.
Maybe something like this:

/x/y/z/www.your_domain.org

In this case your virtual path is (probably):
http://www.your_domain.org

If you have apache run at your local site...
Take a look into the httpd.conf under DocumentRoot there is you physical path.

There is no telling from here what the path is. So this is a hosted server? otherwise you would know what the path is. it looks like a Windoze server... ( d:\home\webgirlzdk\www )?

Easy way to get all the info we don't know is to create a text file with this one line in it:

Name it something like info.php or anything .php. Call it and everything we need to know is there.

If your site is running on a webserver, your provider should have told you what your physical path is.
If not, make a short php file (e.g. test.php) with the following content:
phpinfo ();
?>

and let it run.
The output should show you somewhere the physical path.

probably:
d:/home/webgirlzdk/www

This is what I set it to and the site is up and I registered. Now remove or rename the install directory before someone else runs the install.
