[fusion-users] Map does not draw using a virtual host

[Andrew Parker]

Perfect!  That did the trick.

I added

Alias /fusion /var/www/htdocs/fusion

to the vhosts.conf file then changed the index.html to reference 
/fusion/.... rather than ../fusion/....


Thank you so much.

Hopefully I will start updating my HowTo for Fusion for MapServer this 
weekend!
