I have a php application (let's call it app A) which is developed separated in a test domain name, like http://testa.xxx.com <http://testa.xxx.com/> /. But now I have to move it to another app (called B) using http://testb.xxx.com <http://testb.xxx.com/> /, and the app A becomes just a subsystem of app B. The access url is changed to http://testb.xxx.com/a/. Then I meet a problem that the app A 's links, the path and other elements in it are set like '/Main.php', '/art/logo.gif' by an absolutely path. The app A is very independent and I do not want to disperse it to app B. So how can I get this effect: when the user input the url, ' http://testb.xxx.com/a/ ', the app A will work fine? Can I just modify some configuration about yapache to fit this requirement?

maybe you could use the apache ProxyPass directive? ProxyPass testb.xxx.com/a/ testa.xxx.com or something like that. (I'm just half-remembering a cool post by Rasmus L. so the syntax is probably off)

server with VirtualHost settings. [He says blithely, never having actually got that to work on his own box...] Hmmmm, that reminds me... Does VirtualHost rely on, like, /etc/hosts having hostnames for all those made-up hostnames I use? I had assumed all

Richard try something like this (obviously add any required stuff like DocumentRoot etc. # you can do allsorts of stuff with the IP definition. #NameVirtualHost 213.*:80 NameVirtualHost *:80 # _DEFAULT_ - this vhost gets loaded. if nothing else matches # ----------------------------------------------------------------- <VirtualHost _default_:80>

    </Directory>

    ServerName %0

</VirtualHost>

those hostnames were just internal unique markers for httpd.conf with no real-worl meaning... Was that just silly of me or what?

Richard, I believe you can have apache do lookups on the given names but by default its off at least - I never have any problem putting allsorts non-existing domains in the vhost confs, as long as your local HOSTS file has a suitable entry your rolling. rgds, Jochem
