A simple fix is to create a subdomain for local testing, that way you can use a starting slash:
edit your hosts file (system32 on windows, etc/hosts on linux) like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 subdomain.localhost then add a virtual host in your apache.conf: NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName subdomain.localhost DocumentRoot "/myfiles" #not sure about this one DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.html index.htm index.shtml </VirtualHost> On Jan 10, 3:40 pm, "Rick Faircloth" <r...@whitestonemedia.com> wrote: > Maybe I just haven't tried hard enough to figure out the path > situation, but putting "/" at the start of my paths on my dev setup > doesn't work.
