Chapter 5. Path and URL

Set your paths right!

This part of the installation should be quite easy, as you don't have to do anything. If you did things right until now, this is the screen you'll see next: a nice green-filled screen indicating you wrote correctly the physical path and the virtual path.

The screen you want to see, with both paths correctly written.

Figure 5.1. The screen you want to see, with both paths correctly written.

We've already seen how the screen looks when you enter an incorrect physical path. What if you mess with the URL? What you'd see is a screen like this:

Beep! You wrote an invalid URL in the Virtual Path field. Go back and correct it!

Figure 5.2.  Beep! You wrote an invalid URL in the Virtual Path field. Go back and correct it!

This was easy! Assuming you have green lights here, all that's left to do is to click the, yes, the Next button. For now the time has come to put to test some of the information you just wrote in the file mainfile.php, let's go to Chapter 6, Database settings.
