Re: favicon not found Apache webserver cgi

Oops, sorry, I hit enter before I answered your second question.

In the second case, you just have to remember that whatever is in the 
<link href="x"> is relative to your DocumentRoot.  So if you have:

DocumentRoot /www/abc/htdocs

And you also have

<link rel="icon" type="image/icon" href="/abc/images/favicon.ico" />

Then your icon should be located here in the IFS:

/www/abc/htdocs/abc/images/favicon.ico

All URLs are relative to the DocumentRoot, unless an Alias/ScriptAlias 
is used.
