I Need help finding my 'root folder' with a PHP website creator

Has anybody used the "killer seo" php website creator?

If so, let me know - i'm having problems with the Document Root: portion of the php install

Here's what's happening:

The Document Root Field auto populates, mine says this:
/home/content/p/a/n/panicproducts/html/
(This is what my root folder is auto populated as).

It says below this field, this:
What you see now is most likely WRONG! It probably shows something like "/home/username/public_html/" or "/home/username/htdocs/" or something similar. You need to remove the first path name in that entry, as well as your username! So, if you have something like this: "/home/myusername/public_html/", you will need to change it to: "/public_html/". Just remove the first and second entries, and leave the forward slash in as in the example above. Also, you may be using a sub domain name, in which case you will have something after "/public_html/", for example: "/public_html/sitebuilder/". Please leave that in or this script will try to access files in your root directory.
Well, I can't figure out what MY true root directory IS. It doesn't match what the 'about' says it should be. This is my first php install, so I don't know what to look for really...any ideas?

Some background: I'm using godaddy hosting, linux.

Thanks!

    Just a little *bump* for assistance. Even if you HAVENT used killer seo, can you help with the root field?

    Thanks!

    Hello

    what i normally do to find root
    create yourself a phpinfo file

    How can I create a phpinfo.php page?

    found in google

    do what it says and upload file to your
    server then run the file. Www.yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php
    this will display all your servers settings
    look down the list for document root and
    it should have next to it the right settings

    there might also be a phpinfo link in your
    hosting cpanel

    hope it helps

    Thanks SO much

    I confirmed that the root folder I had was correct, so is the IP address for the FTP - yet, I still get this error when trying to upload.

    Any ideas?

    Now Testing Your Database Connection Settings..
    Database Settings OK! Now Testing FTP Settings..

    Warning: ftp_site() [function.ftp-site]: Could not change perms on /home/content/p/a/n/panicproducts/html: No such file or directory in /home/content/p/a/n/panicproducts/html/installer.php on line 116


    If You See An Error Above That Say's 'No such file or directory', Then You Have Entered Your FTP Server Path Incorrectly Or One Of The Files I'm Looking For Is Not There. Please Go Back, Change It, And Try Again.
