You have to use relative path .

In practice, you have to put all your assets, source code, ressources, etc. in one directory to ease deployment. Indeed, when you deploy your code, the server is not aware of your computer. With relative paths, it can resolve the path to your ressources.

You can read on Wikipedia the difference betwen relative path and absolute path:

Absolute and relative paths. An absolute or full path points to the same location in a file system, regardless of the current working directory. To do that, it must include the root directory. By contrast, a relative path starts from some given working directory, avoiding the need to provide the full absolute path.
