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

Easy...

# Assuming mod_rewrite is an option...

   # Turn it on!
   RewriteEngine on

   # If path is /images/flag.png, connect to /holiday/images/flag.png
   RewriteBase /holiday/

Assuming I'm understanding what you mean, this should do you just fine. Point of order, this .htaccess should be in /holiday/

I do this locally on MAMP for testing a website that's base is in http://localhost:8888/SocialNetwork/ ... If I didn't have that, my absolute paths of, say, /profile would go to http://localhost:8888/profile/ instead of http://localhost:8888/SocialNetwork/profile
