In my instance, coding the other url (ww1.rapidlaw.net) would work. (In this instance, it only happens to be true that I can get to that place outside the root with another url --as the apps folder is in the root of another site.)
But, my goal is to learn, how, in general to have the codex application in my apps directory outside of the root. I think I'm understanding now that, in general, I should have the assets directory in the root of my site, while I can have the application itself outside the root. Is that right?
So, in general, I can place my codex application outside the root in a common location with your other apps, and then move my assets folder within my site's public root? (In my case, put the root in my reliabledivore.net /public_html.)
