Question

I have setup my own simple framework with a file structure like this:

root
    libs
    public_html
        product-images
            image1.jpg
            image2.jpg
            etc...
        controllers
        models
        views
        scripts

The problem is, is that my image src for a product has to start with one or two ../’s depending on which page you’re on. In some cases I have to declare the full path to the image which looks like:

http://www.mysite.com/public_html/product-images/image1.jpg

Obviously this isn’t very good for SEO.

My question is how can I remove the public_html bit but keep all the images working, without altering the file structure of my site?

Answer 1

Your web server document root should be public_html, not root.
