I’m not sure if this is the right forum to post this in. I just discovered that [admin.site.com/../](http://admin.site.com/../) and [site.com/admin/../](http://site.com/admin/../) are not the same. At the moment my client can use either but when he used [admin.site.com](http://admin.site.com) none of the relative pathnames on the main domain work. Some of the files are on the main domain and i dont know how to access them.

Thanks,
