Absolute Path for Deployment in a Non-Root Location

Question

I typically refer to any assets on my site using absolute path so that I don\'t have to worry about the location of the assets relative to current file.

<         


        

Answer 1

If you’re using Apache, there one rather simple thing you could do by just using an SSI variable in your paths. Do a global replace of all src="/ to something like

src="/

and then in your htaccess for the specific folder define the prefix variable as /holiday

For sites that don’t have the variable or SSI, it’ll just show up as a comment or you can define it as an empty string.

Of course this means you’ll have to turn on SSI in Apache.
