[jira] Created: (TS-140) path handling should be relative when there is no leading '/' in the config.

path handling should be relative when there is no leading '/' in the config.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: TS-140
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-140
             Project: Traffic Server
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Config
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
         Environment: All
            Reporter: George Paul
            Priority: Minor


All handling of paths should be relative when there is no leading '/' specified in the config.
For example in the case of a relative path set to 'etc/trafficserver', this will get prepended with ${prefix} (e.g. /usr/local/, with the final path being /usr/local/etc/trafficserver), while a full '/etc/trafficserver' will  not (i.e. the path stays /etc/trafficserver).

[jira] Commented: (TS-140) path handling should be relative when there is no leading '/' in the config.

Jason Giedymin commented on TS-140:
-----------------------------------

I think it's a really great feature to sense whether or not the user has specified a path.

However I think having this is another added user config error/headache vector.

By making it only Fully Qualified, there is zero doubt by just reading the config file what the situation is. 

People (users, admins, etc) may have completely different prefixes which they would like to install which is fine.

I'm in the belief that by only reading the config one should not have any doubts about paths.  It should be well defined outright at the beginning.
