Hi thanks Haim, That was what I thought too. But I don't know the absolute pathnames. GoDaddy had this to say:
Upon review of your account it appears that you do not have a dedicated IP address for your site; therefore you will most likely not want to use the IP address, but instead reference the full URL http://dummipedia.com/commonmw140. If you require an IP address and cannot use a URL, a dedicated IP address can be added to your hosting account. To add a dedicated IP to your shared hosting account: 1. Purchase a Dedicated IP credit from our website. 2. Log in to your Account Manager<http://mya.godaddy.com/default.aspx?prog_id=GoDaddy> . 3. In the My Products section, select *Hosting*. 4. Click the applicable hosting account. 5. In the Hosting Account Details section on the right, click *Apply Dedicated IP Address*.
