Good sleuthing. I have added serverURL to the default Info block in
Jmol2.js and added a comment about it there.
If you can avoid making any changes to JSmol.min.js, that's wise. A real
headache to maintain if you do.
I don't recommend making this entry relative unless you are absolutely
certain that all your files are all in the same relative position. It also
will only work for creating PNG or PNGJ files if you have it on a server;
PHP files won't be processed locally.
As long as you local-test with FireFox, JSmol won't be calling that php
file for file loading, only for file creation.
