If you setup the virtual hosts, all your paths are identical regardless of the domain. Link field should be able to handle this just fine.

Thanks Carl still struggling

In the link field it expects a URL e.g.

http://demo.localhost/fred.html

Are you saying the protocol and host are ignored by drupal?

If they are not then I cannot see how this solves my problem and it is probably my lack of apache knowledge.

I currently have two virtual site

http://myIP1/
http://myIP2/

I want to put in a link field into a content type to point to the document fred.html

If I enter

fred.html

in the link field create content for the content type the link goes to

http://myIP1/?q=fred.html on one box
http://myIP2/?q=fred.html on the other box

Which of course fail because I want no ?q= in the link. What I want is

http://myIP1/fred.html on one box
http://myIP2/fred.html on the other box

Are you say if I enter the server in the link this will automatically be removed?

I.e. if I don't enter fred.html but instead enter http://myIP1/fred.html it will work on http://myIP2? When exported and imported into the second site?

Thanks for your patience
