How to hide the real path of a file in Browser using Alias and <Directory>

[g_p_java]

Hello guys, i would like to make a question related to aliases.

 

I have configured my http.conf file and i have placed

 

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80> 
   ServerAdmin admin@mail
   DocumentRoot "C:/project/www/site/e-shop"
   ServerName eshop.local
   Alias	/manager	"C:/project/www/site"
</VirtualHost>

<Directory "C:/project/www/site">
    Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews Includes
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Directory>

 

Well, when i type in the browser "eshop.local/manager" it's working.

My problem is that when i clink somewhere else, the browser reveales the true path.

 

That's a problem, e.g. my browser shows "http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/site/multi.php" and even eshop.local is not there.

 

What option shall i place in the <Directory> here</Directory> in order to hide in the browser the true path and show only eshop.local/manager path????

As i can see, the site it's working, but the fact that it reveales the truth path, it's something i wouldn't like to happen.

 

Thanks, in advance!

have you given absolute path on the hyperlinks? can you post the code of the hyperlink???

have you given absolute path on the hyperlinks? can you post the code of the hyperlink???

 

Thanks for replying, well in my code sometimes i refer to an image like ../../images etc.

I'm sorry for asking but i didn't quite understand the question.

Where am i supposed to find the code of the hyperlinks???

as you mentioned when you click on somewhere [i am assuming that you are clicking on the hyperlink] . So, you must have written some code for that hyperlink like

 

<a href='mypage.php'> My Page </a>

 

Can you post that code??

[g_p_java]

<a href='mypage.php'> My Page </a>

Can you post that code??

 

Well, in my php files i refer to hyperlinks like

 

<a href="<? echo $site_root?> or <a href="categories/search_category.php"> or 
<a href="<? echo $site_root.$root_content."my_images/".$_SESSION['opi'][$y-1]['FILENAME'];?>">

 

Well i use headers and requires, i don't know if they cause a problem

require '../my_inc/user_auth.inc';
require '../my_inc/init.inc';
require 'my_inc/categories_files.inc';

 

In my init.inc files i have defined

 

$root_site = "http://XXX.XX.XX.XX/site/";
$root_content = "eshop/content/"

 

I cannot understand what causes the problems, Thanks

Bro, if you will use the absolute path i guess which you are doing in your case then problem which you have mentioned will be there,

 

Absolute path is

 

<a href="http://www.mysite.com/products">Products</a>

 

I guess you will have to use relative path so your anchor tag should be:-

 

<a href="http://www.mysite.com/products">Products</a>

 

Try to create a hardcore relative URL and see wht happens when you click on it....

 

 

Or as an alternate.....

 

try to use base href in your head tag

 

<base href="http://eshop.local/" />
