    1616 * '''Filesystem Path''' is the path to up until you reach index.php of the board. If you are in that directory, just do a pwd, add a slash to the end, and you have it. You'll be given a suggestion which will be correct in almost all cases. That suggestion is colour-coded: if it's green, you already have the same setting, if it's red, your setting is different. 
    1717 * ''' Webserver Path''' is the virtual path visible to visitors. It's everything after .com, .net, .org (or whatever you have), starting with a slash and ending with a slash. Again, you'll be given a suggestion, and again, it's colour-coded. 
     18 * ''' Cookie Path''' is the path with which all board cookies will be saved. Usually, this is the same path as the webserver path. 
    1819 * '''Board Logo''' contains the file name of the image located in the images directory. 
    1920 * '''Login Attempts''' is a try to do something against dictionary attacks. If you enter a number greater than zero, the board will just ignore any further calls to any pages from a visitor who has had as many failed login attempts as defined here. Don't overestimate the effectiveness of this setting. It's easy to circumvent if an attacker really wants to, but it also can't hurt to have it.
