Site Root relative links

Site Root relative links not working on my local testing server

I'm sure this must be simple. I've set up my testing server correctly ( I think ) but when I use the following link

<a href="/archive.html">Archive</a>

it tries to link to the following and I get nothing


file:///archive.htm


What's wrong ?

If archive.html is in the current directory:
<a href="archive.html">Archive</a> (no slash)

If archive.html is in the root directory:
<a href="../archive.html">Archive</a> (dot dot slash)

If archive.html is up one level:
<a href="./archive.html">Archive</a> (dot slash)

If archive.html is down one directory:
<a href="yourdirectory/archive.html">Archive</a> (directory slash)

see: Relative URLs for a pretty complete explanation.
