Hi Ken, Depending on what OS you are running you would need something similar to this on unix style OS in httpd.conf or vhosts.conf. You would also need to configure the associated DNS entries for www.myApp.example.com namely the A record and the www record. # Use name-based virtual hosting. # NameVirtualHost 10.10.10.10:80 # # myApp # <VirtualHost 10.10.10.10:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx ServerName www.myApp.example.com ServerAlias myApp.example.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/myApp ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/myApp.example.com/error_log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/myApp.example.com/access_log common </VirtualHost> # Hope this helps ------------------------------------ Peter Nyamukusa Email: petern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx AIM: petenya -----Original Message----- From: Ken Loomis [mailto:kloomis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2007 2:00 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Relative path with virtual host Hello: This has been bugging me for some time. If I have a directory structure like this: /var/www/html/myApp /var/www/html/myFiles With this URL: www.example.com/myApp I can reference myFiles as ../myFiles but with this URL: www.myApp.example.com, using a virtual host, I cannot access myFiles with ../myFiles Why is this, and can safely I fix this with some directive in the Virtual Host? I have a number of libraries I'd like to share across several applications. Any help is much appreciated, Ken --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
