Lets say your server has a file structure like this:

Code:

/home/your_account_name/public_html/phpbb2/images/an_image.png

(ABSOLUTE) phpbb2 root path =  /home/your_account_name/public_html/phpbb2/

If you want to access files RELATIVE to that root path, they can be srced directly such as <img src=images/an_image.png>. It just means, if you want to src an image file, you only need to provide the part of the file location that is after the phpbb2/ folder.

An alternative file structure: What if you have the images folder outside of the phpbb2 folder?

Code:

/home/your_account_name/public_html/phpbb2/
/home/your_account_name/public_html/images/
to access the images folder from the phpbb2 root folder you need to specify the file source like this:

src="../images/an_image.png" - the ".." means go up one folder.

Hope this helps.
