Hello all; I recently transfered hosting servers; but for one of the domains that I have transfered for; I have not had the other party change the nameservers yet (they are still dealing with misc. issues on their own end); but I went ahead and did all the changes to the site (as I will only need to do some minor configurations on the scripts later); but for one of the scripts I am running into this issue:

It asks me for the following:
1) Server Name
2) Server Root
3) Site Path

I know normally the server name would be the site URL, and the Server Root would be the directory of the script, and the Sith Path would be the /home/XXXX/public_html but for this particular domain; I am running everything on the server url until the domain names are pointed towards the new hosting server....therefore I assume that the following are true:
Server Name would be http://204.124.183.52/~gcloan
Server Root would be /realestate
and the Site Path would be????

This is where I kind of get stuck and I have tried all different possibilities. I uploaded a phpinfo.php on the root directory but all I get for the Document_Root is /usr/local/apache/htdocs and obviously that can't be it since it would need to relate to the server root as normally it should be something like /home/XXXX/public_html

Can anyone kindly help me with this? It has given me a migraine headache trying to figure it out...esp. with the attempted reinstalling and reinstalling of the script...thank you so much as this is deeply appreciated and thank you in advance for any help..

ServerRoot and Sitepath are only relevant if the script is running on the server the site is hosted on

The site currently has no domain pointed to it (no nameservers) so it is located or based on the server ip which is: http://204.124.183.52/~gcloan/

The script won't install without filling the three criteria (Server Name, Server Root, and Site Path) and default it has them filled out as: Server Name: http://204.124.183.52, Site Root: /realestate, and Site Path /home/gcloan/public_html/realestate but I know on the Server Name it should be http://204.124.183.52/~gcloan

I hope this helps...and yes, I meant Site Root not Server Root so I apologize for that mistake...thanks again. I will be back in a couple of hours and hopefully I will be able to figure this out by then..
