 * I am attempting to import old html pages into wordpress using the HTML Page Import
   Plugin. Part of the instructions asks for ‘The beginning directory.’ and states:‘
   This should be a full path from the server root, on the same server where WordPress
   is running now.’ I don’t understand this
 * What I have done is created a directory on myblog.com and called it old-rticles.
   I’ve ftp’ the old html files into that directory, just to give them a home and
   now I want to import them into a folder on my actual blog entitled ‘articles.’
   I’m confused though as to how I can find ‘the full path from the server root.’
   When I try the like of /public_html/old-articles or mysite.com/articles I get
   a message something like this.
 * Warning: scandir(/public_html/old-articles) [function.scandir]: failed to open
   dir: No such file or directory in /websites/LinuxPackage04/ke/vi/nh/mysite.com/
   public_html/wp-content/plugins/import-html-pages/html-import.php on line 554
 * How do I figure out what the root is?
