Re: WEB400 Digest, Vol 15, Issue 13 -- WEB400

Just to throw it out there as an alternative approach to file path...

You can also try “<base>” element (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_base.asp).

<head>
<base href="http://www.w3schools.com/images/"; target="_blank">
</head>

<body>
<img src="stickman.gif" width="24" height="39" alt="Stickman">
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com";>W3Schools</a>
</body>

The drawback is that with the “<base>”, URL could be different in localhost and on production. With absolute path (as Bradley suggested), you don’t have to worry about it.

Hope this helps,

I was referring to this:

GET http://192.168.50.6:8017/cgi-bin/mobile.css [HTTP/1.1 404 Not
Found 10ms]

That's the problem with copying things and not taking the time to learn how
things work. I think my first eRPG book is only a few bucks now. There's
a lot of good material in there for beginning to learn CGI. Just ignore
the CERN webserver stuff. :) Yes, it's that old..

You sholdn't be looking in cgi-bin for CSS. That's for CGI applications.

Put your CSS back in /www/articles/htdocs/css

Then reference your CSS using href="/css/mobile.css"

Hi

I try to clarify all

1) In my first post I said that the folder structure in IFS was :

www

..articles

...CSS

.....mobile.css

...htdocs

.....mobileorder.html

And that in my html, I had : <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="/articles/CSS/mobile.css">

2) Then after Booth Martin suggestion i moved mobile.css in htdocs

and

modified html to <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="mobile.css">

3) After the point 2, I said that:

"After your suggestion, now in preview it works, but when I run it in
the browser in see this error :
" <http://192.168.xx.z:Myport/cgi-bin/mobile.css>
http://192.168.xx.z:Myport/cgi-bin/mobile.css HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

5ms "

Note "/cgi-bin/mobile.css" , it seems that when look for mobile.css, it
use the "ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /QSYS.LIB/ARTICLES.LIB/" HTTP directive
and pheraps it search in /QSYS.LIB/ARTICLES.LIB ?

So, NOW I have this scenario

folder structure in IFS:

www

..articles

...CSS

...htdocs

.....mobile.css

.....mobileorder.html

And in the HTML <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="mobile.css">

My DocumentRoot is /www/articles/htdocs

These the Apache directive

<Directory />

Order Deny,Allow

Deny From all

</Directory>

<Directory /QSYS.LIB/ARTICLES.LIB>

Order Allow,Deny

Allow From all

</Directory>

<Directory /www/articles/htdocs>

Order Allow,Deny

Allow From all

</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /QSYS.LIB/ARTICLES.LIB/

Alias /articles/ /articles/

And if I use Firefox developer tool , in the console I see

GET http://192.168.50.6:8017/cgi-bin/mobile.css [HTTP/1.1 404
Not
Found 10ms]

Sorry for the confusion, now I hope is clearer

Thanks all

Yes so was I :) You have come late to the party and probably missed the background.

The HTML says href="mobile.css" so he isn't deliberately looking in CGI-BIN or making reference to it. Apache is doing that (due to other directives in the config) so his question is:
"why, when I reference 'mobile.css' in my HTML, does Apache try to look in '/cgi-bin/mobile.css'.

It is because the current location at the time is "cgi-bin"....so he just needs to change href="mobile.css" to href="/mobile.css" OR, as you suggested, put it in a css specific subfolder and refer to that with a leading "/" instead.

Quite a party it was I see looking back!

For me, I "always" use paths starting with a /. It removes all the
confusion, well, after you understand that it's still a virtual path set by
the apache server.

I hate no front slash in almost anything. I hate ../.../... even WORSE!

So my advice, go back the the beginning and use front slashes, put your CSS
it it's own folder under the Document root, and instead of just copying
source, learn what it does (or is supposed to do).
