I checked this page http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/urlmapping.html#documentroot It says "Apache's default behavior is to take the URL-Path for the request (the part of the URL following the hostname and port) and add it to the end of the DocumentRoot specified in your configuration files" does that mean a request for http://www.myexample.com/site/css/some.css Apache will take URL-Path from above as /site/css/some.css and add if Document Root is /var/www it will add it to the end like /var/www//site/css/some.css and then serve the page/ -- Tapas --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
