Thanks for helping me clear this up.  In topic http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=98633,

That is what the older versions of VM2 called the "Safe Path", before invoice security was considered, it was only the path for files to be sold - now the language is updated for VM2.0.4

Ehoward, in 2.0.2 it was called Path for Sale. It was since changed to Safe Path. See the Safe Path box in your image.

Yepp, and when you dont know what to enter there,

just leave it blank and save it. Then you should see a message with your real path. Just use this suggestion (and add a / on it).

I've similar problem, on Configuration i've this warning:
Warning, the Safe Path is WRONG, for safety reasons it is very important to create a folder in a path not accessible by an URL, create also a folder invoices in it to store your sensible data secure. Our suggested path is for your system /var/www/vhosts/web.cavinato.com/vmfiles

I've created this vmfiles folder but the warning is still here !
what's wrong ?

i've PHP 5.3.2 , Joomla 2.5.4, Virtuemart 2.0.6

Thanks for help
