in your apache config file [httpd.conf], you should hsave set the document
root for the server that is running vanilla. all relative links within this
server are based from this path. for instance, imagine on windows you have

Apache in c:\apache
document root as c:\apache\htdocs
vanilla in c:\apache\vanilla (but of course, the vanilla.r files are
probably in c:\apache\cgi-bin or something)

if you link to [http://www.yourserver.com]/my_stylesheet.css , apache will
look for it in c:\apache\htdocs

if you specifiy that your stylesheet is /styles/stylesheet.css , apache will
look for it in a styles directory in htdocs.

hope this helps..
