Server Configuration Question

2025-04-07

Hey everybody, I have a server configuration question:

If any of you have your own server then you know that in an html file accessing

Code:

<a href="/file">

would try to access server/file. Even if the call was in the links folder, so if it was

Code:

<a href="file">

it might try to access server/links/file.

My problem is setting this up for multiple users on one server, so if someone has an account named "user", them typing

Code:

<a href="/file">

would access ~user/file, where if it were typed

Code:

<a href="file">

it would've accessed ~user/links/file.

Do you know how to properly set up a server to have guest accounts work in this manner? If any of you have an answer, I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks.

EDIT: I'm running apache on linux
