Given the following in the httpd.conf file on a development machine that
is NOT the real web server for the domains:
NameVirtualHost *:80

ServerName _default_
<Directory /var/www/html>

# Below are all the real virtual host definitions.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin x...@ycc.com

When I use Firefox via http://localhost/roatanbakery.com/ , the page
comes up broken with no css and no ssi's working.
The offending html for the css is:
<link href="/common/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Similarly, for the ssi:
<!--#include virtual="/common/w3c.inc.html" -->
If I remove the leading / in each reference, everything works.
Because the ssi fails, I know its a server issue.
Here is the actual structure (extraneous items removed):
r...@box1 roatanbakery.com# pwd
/var/www/html/roatanbakery.com
r...@box1 roatanbakery.com# tree
.
├── bakery
│ └── images
......
├── common
│ └── images
......
│ ├── style.css
│ └── w3c.inc.html
└── toolbars
├── index.html
The error log shows:
File does not exist: /var/www/html/common
It successfully finds the index.html at the document root. Why does it
not find the 2 files when a leading / is used, as that also represents
the root. It apparently used the default DocumentRoot to look for these
files, and not the one specifically specified for the virtual.
How does one successfully write an ABSOLUTE reference in the HTML
against the DocumentRoot that ALWAYS works? Or, is the error in the
httpd.conf file? I don't like using relative references
(common/style.css or ../../common/style.css for example) because it
changes depending on the current level.
I need this to work, as is, when I transfer the entire structure from
the development server to the real web server in Texas.
