WampServer

hello forum,

i have wamp 2.2 on w7 machine.

i used to dyndns updater to resolve localhost to tdi.podzone.org/stead.

the home page is fine but no images appear and the links do not work and revert
back to localhost/mylinks.

any ideas why this is happening.

I am guessing here.

Have you coded your links with relative address's? If not try it.

So code a <img src="img/pic1.jpg" /> and not as <img src="[localhost] />

Ditto with all site links, make them all relative and it should work.

<li><a href="aboutus.php">About Us</a></li>
<li><a href="products_new.php">New Items</a></li>
<li><a href="contactus.php">Contact Us</a></li>
<li><a href="specials.php">Specials</a></li>
<li><a href="buybacks.php">BuyBacks</a></li>
<li><a href="faqs.php">FAQ's</a></li>


here is a sample of my menu --all reletive links

but when use them they come up loclhost/link

Exactly - they are relative to the URL u are in

i don't know.

let me try and explain my situation furhter.

i use dyndns for changing the loclahost into tdi.podzone.org/stead/

this works but when i try to use any links , my belief is they should come up--

tdi.podzone.org/stead/ my rel links but instead it comes up localhost//stead/ my rel links.

and i have no idea why this would switch back to localhost.

You must have absolute links somewhere so ....

ok i give--

where might one find the absolute links.

one guess this is an oscommerce site so maybe in my config files which i do have
http:/localhost as the http server

would i have to change this in the configure.php and back to localhost when i want to go offline.

or is there something in the apache files that i should change????

You didn't say u we're using a cms


You will just have to chane the base URL in a config file that must be set to localhost

If u wanna get Teamviewer I'll take a look and setup vhosts I resolve this
