Hello,
I am a newbie of drupal world, but I have a lot of experience with code developing.
I received a site made with Drupal 7.34, but I have some issues to run it in localhost (under apache).
All default links are correct, but the links created with custom module have a link without full path.
I installed drupal in /lampp/htdocs/drupal and the correct links have included all path (eg.: http://localhost/drupal/user). Corrupted links, instead, have this path: http://localhost/custom_user instead of http://localhost/drupal/custom_user. The same thingis for the custom images.
I've seen this type of contents are stored in DB. Is there a way to automatically add "drupal" suffix to links while I am in developing mode (under localhost)?
Thanks.

The easiest way to do that is to create a local sub-domain that matches your remote domain in depth.

You might try fiddling with the base url in your settings.php file or the RewriteBase. In my opinion though you really have 2 options:

  1. Fix whatever issue is causing the inconsistency in the custom module.
  2. Make your development environment more closely resemble your production environment. Serving your dev site in a sub folder is a pretty minor difference, but it can cause these problems. It can be easily fixed by changing the document root in your apache configuration file.

Ideally both.
