the absolute path is usually something like:
/home/users/yoursitename/www/cgi-bin/
the problem sometimes is how to find out what the path is.
in FTP programs, the path shown is not exactly the same as the absolute path.
maybe your hosting provider has the answer somewhere in their FAQ (and u can always ask them).
you can also create a php file with the following code inside:
phpinfo();
?>
if you upload this (name it phpinfo.php) and then visit the page you just created (yourdomainname.com/phpinfo.php ) then you will see the server returns some system info, i think the path to your webfiles is also there.
