MAMP Pro hosts not aliasing directories in Parallels

[ottoman]

I had everything working pre Leopard update - now its kaput. I'll try asking again for help here.

 

MAMP Pro is set up with multiple hosts.

In Mac OS (10.5.4) all sites/hosts I have setup work perfectly i.e. via http://foo:8888/index.php or http://moo:8888/index.php

In Parallels Win XP I access to hosts via http://10.1.1.5:8888/foo/index.php (10.1.1.5 is MacPro IP)

except nowadays links set to/from root in the host are not resolved properly.

So example "images/pop.gif" renders in Windows browser but images called from root like "/images/pop.gif" or "../images/pop.gif" do not.

Same for clicking on links i.e. "http://10.1.1.5:8888/foo/about.php" also in the host root folder of my site/host gets directed to http://10.1.1.5:8888/ the MAMP localhost root, instead to http://10.1.1.5:8888/foo/about.php.

 

Originally I had the win hosts file configured but stuffed this up by making too many changes tying to get things working again.

So for the time being I got what I think was set up originally:

127.0.0.1      localhost

127.0.0.1      .psf

 

10.1.1.5 foo #MAMP Testing server

10.1.1.5 poo #MAMP Testing server

 

Have been trying to find an answer for a few weeks now polwing through the net without success and getting more confused.

Every time I find a post the setup is a bit different or confusing.

How can I get the Windows browsers to stay in the right folder/directory rather than reverting to MAMP localhost folder (/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/)

How hard can this be!?!?

Please somebody help me.
