You'll end up with something like "/www/favicon.ico" or "/public_html/favicon.ico". If you wish to use something other than "favicon" as the filename, or you want to put it in a different folder, you'll have to add the following to the HEAD section of your code:
link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/directory/filename.ico
But, you know, with the tag brackets.
