Title: Confused about where to put help files
Post by: Mike Grigsby on March 30, 2008, 07:35:46 PM

I'm not quite following how directory structures under /web work.

If I have a file to display: web\help\apply.jpg, it shows okay in the browser. But if I try to display the help file (just an HTML file), it shows file not found. I've tried moving it around but some directories it shows as file not found or it just shows the first page of the web app and does some sort of loop, even though I am calling something like http://localhost:80/help/loginpage.html.

Is there something I'm missing about where extra files can be located? I've tried putting them off the the custom folder, but still no go.

Hi Mike,

I keep my help.html files in the web directory so I can call them as <a href="entry_help.html">Entry help</a>
The help images can then be placed in the images directory and everyone stays happy.

Just remember that relative addresses are all relative to the web directory not the EXE's directory.
