For EE v1.x, when I need to discover the new server path, I usually go to the following location:
CP Home › Admin › Utilities › PHP Info
And then scroll down to the “Apache Environment” section, and look at the path for the “DOCUMENT_ROOT”. That usually is the server path. Then go into all the various locations where there needs to be a server path, and update. Your mileage may vary 😉
good luck, -jim

Thanks Jim, I did what you suggested, but it’s still showing the paths to the old server. How do I point it to the new location…
I have all the server path information supplied to me by the people at engine hosting, but I just don’t know how to make sure the CP is pointing the the new server.
They are not helping me much at all they just moved the files and say here you have it. I’m really not thrilled with their support.
