Getting Minify to work in a subdirectory of the document root
Phase-Deploy If you test sites in a subdirectory (e.g. http://localhost/testSite/) rather than a virtualhost, then you'll need to adjust the way you use Minify to rewrite CSS correctly. 1. Place the following in min/config.php: // Set the document root to be the path of the "site root"
$min_documentRoot = substr(__FILE__, 0, -15);
// Set $sitePrefix to the path of the site from the webserver's real docroot
list($sitePrefix) = explode('/min/index.php', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], 2);
// Prepend $sitePrefix to the rewritten URIs in CSS files
$min_symlinks['//' . ltrim($sitePrefix, '/')] = $min_documentRoot;2. In the HTML, make your Minify URIs document-relative (e.g. min/f=js/file.js and ../min/f=js/file.js), not root-relative. Now the min application should operate correctly from a subdirectory and will serve files relative to your "site" root rather than the document root. E.g.

To avoid issues like this in the future just make every web application run on its own virtual host, its pretty easy to setup a virtual host in wampserver. T
his wont be the only issue you will run into with your website once it goes live you will have linking issues etc.. To setup a virtual host you can read up on it at this tutorial http://vzio.com/learn_web-design_development/wampserver-learn_web-design_development/custom-virtual-host-on-wampserver/

This method does not work, I still have the wrong path with an IP address instead of localhost
@gerits.aurelien ask on the support list. My first guess is that $SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] points differently based on the host header, so sending an IP could change that.
This method will not works if you have subdirs in your URLs, eg: http://localhost/mysite/category/mycategory/list (until you want to manually change the relative path to minify on all pages...).
my entire sites works such i do not need to change any files to shift from development to production.
thus am hesitant to make two version of the files
