I found the author make the solution hard coded for "ThePhile". If you want to put the solution in other folder than you need to change so many code inside.

For a simple url, the book used "/ThePhile/Image/DVDlogo.gif", why not use "../Image/DVDlogo.gif". :D

Has this worked for anyone else?

The authors should have made it easier to specify the root folder of the application. They should have that path set up as a constant in one class, and then they should reference this everywhere they need to.

As it is now, they have many references to "ThePhile" in the pathname. It's even stored in some database tables this way! When you use a hosting company you have to remove "ThePhile" because you don't have a virtual directory with an inexpensive hosting company - your application gets installed under the root dir for your site.

Relative pathnames also work, but sometimes you need to know the full pathname.
