Mine's Apache2/htdocs/www.

It was a lucky shot in the dark. I get bit by it all the time writing PHP. Some paths need to be URLs, which relate to home (www), others need to deal with the filesystem path.

EDIT. If your server is a paid host, check the environment variables for something like DOCUMENT_ROOT. Mine is, for example, /mnt/w0302/d08/s33/b0246102/www. The part before www is the environment variable, HOMEDIR. In my case, the filesystem path to cgi-bin is under HOMEDIR, but Apache/my host map it, URL-wise, as if it's a subdirectory of www.
