Apache/2.4.3 (Win32) OpenSSL/0.9.8x PHP/5.4.8
The (Windows) filesystem for my server this Windows path:
Z:\service.web.opinions
The tree under Z:\service.web.opinions is:
Z:\service.web.opinions
* developing
* _content
++ opinionDocs.js
** culture
+++elections.html
** politics
** groups
Note that
"**" is a directory/folder within the directory/folder "_content"
"++" is an file in the directory "_content"
"+++" is a file in the directory "culture"
Finally two more very important bits of information as to the server config:
In my *httpd.conf* file, I have
Alias /opinion "Z:/service.web.opinions/_content"
In my *httpd-**vhosts.conf* file, I have:
<VirtualHost *:80 *:8080 *:8008>
ServerAdmin bigopini...@yahoo.com
DocumentRoot "Z:/service.web.opinions/_content"
ServerName truth-and-opinion.org
ServerAlias www.truth-and-opinion.org
ErrorLog "|\"C:/_Windows Uninstalled

In this configuration, I have an HTML document "elections.html" in the Windows
path Z:\service.web.opinions\_content\culture\elections.html.
This is accessed by the public as
"http://my.opinions.org/culture/elections.html";
HERE IS THE PROBLEM
I personally/privately (as a developer?) want to access the site content using a
*localhost* or *127.0.0.1* url, namely "http://localhost/opinion/";
The document "elections.html" contains the HTML markup:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/opinionDocs.js"></script>
That JavaScript file is in the path
"Z:\service.web.opinions\_content\opinionDocs.js"
The public access is okay, because the DocumentRoot for the public access
"Z:\service.web.opinions\_content\" and so the "src" attribute points to the
root "/" where opinion docs is located.
But when I use "http://localhost/opinion/culture/elections.html"; (or
"http://127.0.0.1/opinion/culture/elections.html";, I will get a 404 Not Found
error. The error will be that "http://localhost/opinionDocs.js"; (or
"http://127.0.0.1/opinionDocs.js";) was not found.
Obviously the "Alias" feature is the wrong feature to use, and it should
probably be another <VirtualHost> directive, right?
