How to break the dependence from the old path?

[borro]

Hello.

I installed webserver XAMPP at my usb stick #1. Then I deployed VM-based site there
I was trying to embed the watermark overlay at VM, so I added the line of code
$wmfname = JPATH_ROOT.DS.'watermark.png'
in administrator\components\com_virtuemart\helpers\image.php file
When I copied the xampp to another usb stick #2 I've found that VM looks for watermark picture with the path of the first usb stick.

Please tell, how can I make the watermark path definition to be independent from a usb stick disk letter?
Thank you

JPATH_ROOT is Joomla Root, so this is dynamic. Perhaps the problem is in another part ?

Hello. Thank you. Yes, the problem is in another place, in my webserver. I installed it usb stick and then copied it to another pendrive but configuration settings was saved and that is the reason.

I changed pathes to relative ones in configuration files of apache and now it can't be launched and there is no information about what is wrong in a console or log files. Please help me to know what is going on

Help me to understand what is wrong in apache settings please

The decision is to download and unzip zip distributive of portable version and then copy all configuration files from it. And by the way - the xampp must be placed in the root of the disk
