Thank you, that worked perfectly. I appreciate the help.

OK So, include("/include/lib.php"); and <img src=/image/file.jpg> are differect? the src=/ is not referring the the root of the current disk but the include("/include/lib/php"); is? If that is the case, how would I go about fixing that. It doesn't make much sense, honestly, is this a php issue, why would /include/ refer to system root and not my document root? How would I go about making it refer to the document root, php.ini?? Thanks again,

Having a bit of an issue with absolute/relative urls. I have MAC running OS 10.5.4, Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2.5, MySQL 5.0.67 and phpMyAdmin 2.11.8.1. Things work great, it took me a while, but I finally have all of these apps running soundfully with each other and can develop nicely. I am, however, running into an issue which I would like some help with. I will first list my vhost settings and any other pertinent information that could help this process. Here is the document root in my http.conf file: DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents" Here are important settings in the httpd-vhosts.conf: <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "/Users/CDB/Sites" </VirtualHost> #IndieViz Local Site Listen 1001 <VirtualHost *:1001> DocumentRoot "/Users/CDB/Sites/indieViz/httpdocs" ServerName 10.0.1.182:1001 </VirtualHost> <Directory /Users/CDB/Sites/indieViz/httpdocs> Allow from all </Directory> Ok, now on to my issue: I access my development site listed at 10.0.1.182:1001 and in the index.php page are the following lines include("/include/lib.php"); <img src="/img/banner_contest_269x195.jpg" width="269" height="195" border="0"> When the page is served, it cannot find the /include/lib.php but it CAN find the /img/banner... file. There is both an img folder and an include folder in the httpdocs dir (the ROOT dir). So, what is the reason that /include doesn't resolve to the root, but /img does? The reason I need /include to work is that this file is included on many files deep within the site structure. I really don't want to type in ../../include and ../include every time I want to include this file, so, any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope this makes sense, if not, please ask, I will try my best to explain. Thanks for any help, Clay
