What is the correct syntax for the XOOPS Virtual Path (URL) during installation?

I am installing on a multi-user hosted server. In searching through this site and the XOOPS documentation site have seen a variety of expressions, but not a definitive answer. Sometimes I see a directory path -- other times a www.yoursite.com style URL. Which is correct?

Would the following work on a new installation of XOOPS 2.0.15 on a hosted environment?

http://localhost/public_html


Thank you for your advice.

Here, use this for Virtual path. The other is the physical path.

// XOOPS Physical Path
    // Physical path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
    // Example: define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/home/username/public_html/xoops');
    
define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH''/home/username/public_html/xoops');


    
// XOOPS Virtual Path (URL)
    // Virtual path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
    // Example: define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://www.yoururl.com');
    
define('XOOPS_URL'"http://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}");

Lance,

Thank you for the suggestion.

Unfortunately in my hosted environment, the suggested XOOPS Virtual Path (URL) was not accepted as valid by the XOOPS installer.

I used normal URL syntax, which was accepted as valid by the XOOPS installer, that is:

define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://www.mysitename.com');

Is there any downside to using this statement?

Thank you to anyone for advice.
