Hello,

we have OpenCms running as root webapp, but we also have another web =
applications on same server. To avoid marking links to other webapps as =
broken links, we have them listed in /system/config/linkexcludes (listed =
items as "/webapp1", "/webapp2" etc.). This might also help to your =
problem.

Best regards,
Pavel Rath

Subject: [opencms-dev] Absolute links to different webapps in same =
server as site root gets changed to relative links

Hi all,

Haven't found a solution looking up similar problems in the mailing list =

archive, so I'll try to shout out my problem:

I have an OpenCms installation residing in a web server (let's call it=20
https://myserver) with OpenCms itselft not as root webapp but deployed=20
as /portal

The url https://myserver it set as "site root". Whenever I try to create =

an absolute link to a different webapp inside my server, which I need to =

do quite often, be it with the inline editor or directly editting the=20
control code, OpenCms changes it automatically to a relative link=20
pointing inside https://myserver/portal, ruining the link in the=20
process. For instance, if my webapp is called "mywebapp" and I want an=20
absolute link https://myserver/mywebapp/whatever it gets changed inside=20
the control code to a relative link to /sites/default/mywebapp/whatever=20
which translates when I want to click it=20
into https://myserver/portal/mywebapp/whatever

Is there anyway to configure out this annoying behaviour? Can I just=20
simply not list my actual server as the "site root", as I assume it is=20
what OpenCms is using, without breaking anything important such as=20
access to the workplace or static export? I already tried listing the=20
site root as "http://myserver" (the not secure alternative) and it keeps =

behaving exactly the same.

I would be REALLY grateful if I could get some hints from anyone. Thank=20
you in advance,

Nacho Fdez.
