Where and how do some folders on the server get converted into URL adresses? For example, how does my wordpress folder called wp-admin on the root folder of the server becomes http://mysite.com/wp-admin ? Does it happen within the database or within the html code or elsewhere?
It happens in the web server configuration. For apache, there is a variable called
DocumentRoot. Any file or directory under this directory will be available to your web server. For example, if yourDocumentRootis/usr/local/apache2/htdocs, then/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/foowill be seen ashttp://mysite.com/foo.
