Installed XAMPP 1.8.3 and Wordpress 3.8.1.
Downloaded a Wordpress website so I could make modifications to it locally under XAMPP running on a Windows 7 laptop.
The downloaded site is up and running locally but the images will not load.
It appears to be because all the image HTML references are coded as <img src="/someimage.jpg"/>. If I change one of them to <img src="someimage.jpg"/> the image loads.
So HTML of the form <img src="/someimage.jpg"/> works on the host but not under XAMPP.
Anybody know why and/or how to fix it? Thanks for the help.
