what's a good .htaccess resource?

[gopunk]

maybe it's just me but it's kinda hard to wade through the documentation on apache's website... is there just a good website for .htaccess info? i need to know if it's possible to change the base directory for the other files in the directory. like if i have www.washington.edu/directory/index.html, and i put a link to "/index2.html", that would go to www.washington.edu/index2.html. i want to know if i can change the .htaccess file for directory so that it will go to www.washington.edu/directory/index2.html. thanks.

You can set a base target with HTML.

doh, you're right. *smacks forehead* i can't believe i forgot that. oh well.... i still would be interested in a good website about .htaccess though...

eh, i don't think the base tag works the way i want it to. i want to be able to write a link that begins with "/" for the base directory. the base tag doesn't do that.

With regards to your original post, try "../index2.html" for the hyperlink. ../ will move you up a dir.
