/htdocs/contact/ not working as root-relative address.

I'm taking the php code challenge, and I'm using /htdocs/contact/ as the root-relative address. It's not being accepted, and I don't understand what I'm doing incorrectly. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Aaron,

The "htdocs" folder is the site root folder. The path that you have specified would be looking for an "htdocs" sub-folder within the "htdocs" root folder and then the "contact" folder within that.

You simply want to reference the "contact" sub-folder within the "htdocs" root.

/contact/
