PFMaBiSmAd Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 A variable named $data_path, used for a configuration file, is like supposed to be a file system path and not a URL.

Solar Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Should it be? $data_path = "/voc/chat/data/"; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/139164-local-server-newbie-question/#findComment-727925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 The setting must be the file system path to where you put the data folder. The recommendation is to put it outside of your document root folder? Where is it relative to your document root folder or where is it relative to the root of your disk drive?
