Correct path in config.php?

My host (Joyent/TextDrive) is making some big changes. To prepare, I’ve been documenting my settings in the ADMIN tab of Textpattern and the CONFIG.PHP file.

First, my site has been working just fine (to my knowledge). However, I found something that may be incorrect, and I need to know the consequences.

The CONFIG.PHP file shows a ‘txtpath’ of /usr/home/username/domains/mydomain.tld/public_html/textpattern
Note the spelling of usr.

Inside Txp’s Admin tab, the ‘temporary directory path’ is /users/home/username/domains/mydomain.tld/public_html/textpattern/tmp
Again, note the spelling of users.

Should the usr/users portion of these paths agree or not? If so, what has been going on with my site that makes it work even with the incorrect CONFIG.PHP file?

Thanks.

Re: Correct path in config.php?

/usr/home is probably a symlink to /users/home (or vice versa). The temporary directory is mostly used during file/image uploads, so if those work, then it should be okay.
