--- layout: default title: Base URL --- # Base URL It's common to route all images under the path `/img/`. However, since Glide maps image request paths directly to the image source paths, you would have to have an `/img/` folder in your source location as well. For example: ~~~ js 'http://example.com/img/kayaks.jpg' => '/path/to/source/img/kayaks.jpg' 'http://example.com/img/users/jonathan.jpg' => '/path/to/source/img/users/jonathan.jpg' ~~~ Since this isn't ideal, Glide allows you to define a `base_url` which is omitted from the source path. ## Set the base URL ~~~ php '/img/', ]); // Set using setter method $server->setBaseUrl('/img/'); ~~~ With the base URL configured, the new image source paths will no longer include `/img/`. ~~~ js 'http://example.com/img/kayaks.jpg' => '/path/to/source/kayaks.jpg' 'http://example.com/img/users/jonathan.jpg' => '/path/to/source/users/jonathan.jpg' ~~~
