Root folder issue in html when using the VPS URL given to me
I am a new inMotion customer, and before I migrate my site to inMotion, I want to test it all out. So, they provided me with a URL to use for testing which is something like http://vps1xxx3.inmotionhosting.com/~talent55/
My problem is that in my CSS and HTML code, I use references that refer to the root directory (/) such as "/images/test.jpg". Notice it starts with a slash character.
If the site was live with my own company URL, then the root would point to the public_html folder, but since i am accessing my test version using the vps URL, the root is NOT pointing to the subfolder within the VPS but instead to the folder one level up, which I guess is technically the root the way the URL is structured.
So, as an example, instead of getting the following URL (http://vps1xxx3.inmotionhosting.com/~talent55/images/test.jpg) I am getting (http://vps1xxx3.inmotionhosting.com/images/test.jpg) which is not found as it is referring to the root directory at the VPS, not the subfolder that contains my site code and folders.
Is there a solution in htaccess that will allow me to have all site references point to where my site is so that I can use src and href references that begin with the "/" root designator?
