July 10, 201213 yr comment_10574 I use Uniform Server to test and develop joomla sites.localhost/sitealocalhost/siteb/etc within the joomla config though the host is given as just localhost for all the sites.if i set the host as lcoalhost/sitea then the database connection dies... this is what I could use some help to understand...so in a way I guess joomla is using the host value to connect to the db - but when i created the db it was created using phpmyadmin kind of out of the box... where do i make the changes...the site works apart from images specified like /images/test.jpeg as this should be here /sitea/images/test.jpg so I want the root of each site to be the sites root not localhost root... I hope this helps explain better http://www.landed.at - a travel forum, please come along and post something about a destination you know. Report
