Right. This application wasn't designed for living in the root of a website, but that is how most people will deploy it if they use an inexpensive hosting company. Even if you have your own web server, it's not user-friendly to make people memorize the full URL that includes a directory. People just want to memorize the "dot com" URL.
>cant we use ./ or anything??
It seems like this would work, but it's going to be a problem for you because of the user controls and subfolders for some of the modules. This application really likes hard-coded fully-qualified pathnames! There are even some image pathnames stored in the database.
I hope this is addressed in the 2005 edition.
