[users@httpd] ./ Relative paths fail silently / Suse Linux / shell?
Greetings and a quick question. I haven't found info on this in
newsgroup searches, google, or any other searches. I'm not sure if
it's a UNIX/shell issue or an Apache config issue that I'm having --
again, the lack of info is frustrating. It's not CGI-language
specific, either.
I rediscovered this when trying to install phpMyAdmin, which uses the
path style './some/directory/path' all over the place. It fails
silently, as does any other reference in HTML, PERL, you name it to a
path using ./
My question is -- how do I enable this in Apache? I'd just like to
access files/scripts this way (most phpMyAdmin) while still
maintaining the accessibility of this format:
pathname/another/path/file.file, which is the default behavior of
Apache under Suse 9.
Apologies if this is too basic, but I seem to have hit a brick will in
my quest for info.
Best,
~Autumnal

Forget about everything else until you get plain HTML working.

And what happens when you include such links in an html page? Can you
give us the URL for an html page including such links that dosen't
work?

Well, any script or HTML page that uses this type of path fails. HTML,
PHP, PERL, you name it.

In any of the above pages or scripts.

What I mean is that no error is sent to the browser nor generated in
the log files -- in the case of say, a PHP script. Execution stops
cold when it reaches this point. Removing the "./" allows the script
to go forward. Thus my question -- how do I allow the
"./some/path/here" type path to be used in scripts, pages, etc that
are served by Apache?

Strange. The browser doesn't seem to have a problem resolving this
sort of path on other systems, so why would it fail silently when
accessing pages or scripts on this server? It doesn't seem to be a
UNIX exception, as the script for phpMyAdmin (an SQL admin tool using
PHP) is written with ./some/path/here paths all over the place.

It is completely unclear to me what problem you are trying to solve.
Exactly where do these relative paths occur? What do you mean by
"fails silently"? If you are having problems with paths in html
pages, then that has nothing directly to do with apache. The browser
is resolving those paths.

If you will provide http.conf details or virtual host
through which you are accessing PhpMyAdmin.
and Installation directory of PhpMyAdmin then I may
figure out something for you .
