[support] Getting to the Base URL

[Derek Gransaull]

Tim:

Well, a couple of pokes at what seemed obvious did not work. So, I think 
it would be best if you attached your essential apache config file(s) so 
they can be analysed in more depth. Strictly speaking, this is not a 
Drupal issue, but an Apache configuration issue. So it may be somewhat 
misplaced in this mailing list. Nevertheless, we can continue the 
indulgence. :-)

Regards,

Derek
