    hey here is the code ... just make php file upload it to the directory you want to find path and run it :D 

    
<?php
$path = dirname(__FILE__)."/"; 
$path = str_replace("\\", "/", $path);
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Find the path</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Directory path : </p>
<pre><?php echo $path; ?></pre>
</body>
</html>
    Code (markup):
    Enjoy :D

    Do you need to type the exact path to your directory on the server somewhere in the installer ? ... If so then just use that script I posted and it will show you the exact path and you just copy/paste into installer and thats it ...
