The physical location of files for the site. The path should be specified as a path relative to Sitecore root.

The files stored in the physical folder take precedence over the Sitecore Items.

For example, consider the following configuration:

• Server file system:
  
• Sitecore content tree:
  
• web.config <site> definition:

     <site 
        name="helloworld"
        hostName=www.helloworld.com
        virtualFolder="/virtual"
        physicalFolder="/hello" 
        rootPath="/sitecore/content"
        startItem="/Hello Home"
        language="en" 
        database="web" 
        domain="extranet" />

With such configuration, the following URL will open a page in the ‘hello’ physical folder and not the Item in the content tree:

http://www.helloworld.com/virtual/test_page.html

Default value : “/”.
