What Is The Easiest Way To Soft This Issue by chrishenzo: 9:35am On Apr 07, 2011 |
A built a website on the local machine. Now I uploaded it to the server and most of the links aren't working. Note: when I was building the website, it has different folder name. The website name is different from the folders name. For example The folder name was jdpcompany on the local machine but before the website was ready, someone else has already registered with the jdpcompany name. So I have no option but to change the name. I have more than a 100 files with different folders with the siteroot. How can I resolve the issue. |

Maybe it is because you are using relative paths, as opposed to absolute paths. For example, let's say you have a "contact_us" folder. Rather than linking like so, which is probably what you have now: , /contact_us or /jdpcompany/contact_us or jdpcompany/contact_us or , /jdpcompany/contact_us You can reference the above simply as: /contact_us/ (no dots) This way, irrespective of where you are, or if you move to another server, the paths remain the same. Let us know if the issue is as I have described it and if my solution works for you. Good luck! |
