I have the Apache 1.0.3 Web server running on my FreeBSD 2.1 system.
Generally things are ok, except that relative links in the HTML doesn't
seem to work.  I get errors on local home pages saying couldn't URL doesn't
exist when with an absolute path it works ok.  Is there something I missed
setting up in the sever's config that enables relative paths?
I found this while setting up a homepage that a user has to enter a password
to get to and it asked for the login/password all over again when trying
to follow an absolute link to a subdirectory.
Any help getting relative links to work properly will be appreciated.

Thanks.
