Shifting websites between servers and installing applications such as Wordpress is a common task for web designers, and sooner or later you'll need to set or reconfigure the absolute path for the server. PHP offers a nifty function to display this for you with a small line of code. 

Open your chosen editor (dreamweaver / notepad) and paste into it the following code:

< ?php
$p = getcwd();
echo $p;
? >

(remove the character space after the opening "<" and before the closing ">")

Save the file as as a PHP document (for example "abpath.php") and upload it to your server somewhere you can access it through your browser.  For example www.yourwebsiteaddress.com/abspath.php

Hey presto, you'll be presented with the absolute path to the directory you uploaded the php file to.

Note: You'll need to have a PHP enabled server for this to work.
