Your website root is the folder that contains your website files, the root path is the location on the server drive Apache serves your website from eg : /var/www/html/yourwebsitenamehere
You can find your websites root path by creating a file called path.php with just this code in it:
PHP Code:
<?php print __FILE__; ?>
and upload it via FTP to your website. Then go to yourwebsitenamehere.com/path.php (just remove the 'path.php' text at the end of the output) to view the root path location.
