Preview on port 81

I have a strange setup which used to work before I believe. We are on TS 6.7.1/Solaris 10 and the customer webserver is Apache 1.3.29 on port 81. This may be a web server question & not a TeamSite specific question.

When a request to port 81 is done in the following way: http://prod-teamsite:81/iw-mount/default/main/branch/WORKAREA/wa/index.html, it renders the page but the links & js appearing in the page are broken. The links and js use a relative path /images/img.gif for example and the apache docroot is not set to workarea which is why this breaks, makes sense. The alias is set to /.iwmnt on the webserver, so the above link shows up, but the links inside the page are broken. Users claim that this used to work for any workarea. My dilemma is how this worked before for different workareas.

Looking at the httpd.conf file, it hasn't been changed for more than 2 years, and this stopped working couple of months ago. This link is being used to preview by non-teamsite users.
Any ideas?

Check the links themselves. If they were relative (../somedir/foo.html) they would have worked in your environment. If there were docroot-relative (I call absolute) /somedir/foo.html they would not have worked.

I suspect that some time ago the URLs generated in you old release were relative. You have version history, dig up an old edition and see.

Thanks Andy, but I don't think the users were using relative paths looking at the old code. So I am really stumped here.. Any more ideas?

Another thing to check for *recent* changes are iwwebd Section and iwproxy configuration Sections in iw.cfg

I don't think iw.cfg even comes into play here as I am directly trying to access the webserver (customer webserver) on port 81. The preview on files in teamSite (port 80) work correctly.
