slash is not working

[3s2ng]

Hello Freaks.

 

I'm having a problem in my localhost.

 

when I make a path of the image to look like this <img src='/images/test.gif'> it will not work and it is interpreted as http://localhost/images/test.gif

 

but if I make it <img src='images/test.gif'> with out the slash it works and this can be interpreted as

http://localhost/myapp/images/test.gif

 

Can anybody help me with this. I cant find the solutions for this.

 

Thanks,

I dont see a problem. Its a case of using "RELATIVE" versus "Absolute" file paths.

Thanks steviewdr,

 

Yes thats the problem. I downloaded the whole website from the live server into my localhost and then when I run into my localhost the images are not showing but it is showing in my server.

 

I'm using Xampp here in my localhost. Are there any configuration in the httpd.conf about this issue?

You might have to setup a virtual host on a new domain, e.g.:

www.newdomain.com

 

Then you can put the images dir there so they will all be picked up with:

 

/images/image1.jpg

 

Apart from that - a simple find and replace in your html might fix issues with image paths. Find "/  replace with "
