Use mod_rewrite to point the failing URLs to the correct ones.

As example: your application uses URLs like /media/js/hoverIntent.js but everytime the URL begins with /media and you have the data stored on your dev server in /myapp/media/.... In this case you can solve it by placing following .htaccess in your root folder:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^media/(.*)$ /myapp/media/$1

Sure, you need to adjust the target URL of your files on localhost
