====== PATH and URL ======

It's a bit astonishing but looks like some people confuse URL and PATH.

[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL|URL]] - is something like http://domain.com/blabla/, ie a place on the internet

[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_(computing)|PATH]] - is a position of a file on a disk

For example

Usually domain's folder at your server has a path like /home/user/domain.com/. 
Let's say there's a file named 1.html. 
It would have a PATH  /home/user/domain.com/1.html
and URL - http://domain.com/1.html



Периодически возникают вопросы по относительным и абсолютным путям. Относительный путь - это путь относительно текущего положения в системе, оно может менятся. Путь вида /home/user/domain.com/1.html  (тут / в начале пути указывает на корень файловой системы) - это абсолютный путь, он не меняется.

That's why we have 2 settings to save thumbs.

  * PATH where we are going to store files , for example  /home/user/domain.com/thumbs/
  * and URL  like http://domain.com/thumbs to get real URL thumb which is sometimes impossible to get from PATH (yes, URL is pretty obvious in this example, but it's not always this way.
