Relative path should be used whenever you can.
Here are ways to create the absolute path:
Perl: $ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT} . '/relative/path/to/file.txt'
PHP: $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . '/relative/path/to/file.txt'

3. How do I set permissions?
Directories are set to global read and user write by default. This means that anyone on the Internet can see and download your files, but they cannot erase, modify or upload files. You can change the permissions on your files by using any FTP client that supports the "SITE" or "chmod" commands. This website tmay be of some help:
chmod - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

4. How do I password protect a folder?
You can use .htaccess files to do this
For more information on .htaccess please see: Apache HTTP Server Version 1.3 This is the only time you will need to use the absolute path
The directory structure is as follows:
/domains/username so if your username was "nobody" the absolute path would be: "/domains/nobody"
