Please grant me one question with this redirect. Perhaps you can help me: This redirect requires a path like "<sf-project-name>/file" in the setup.ini. I've tried to change the above line into RedirectMatch install/(.*)$ http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/<sf-project-name>/$1 to avoid this preeceding <sf-project-name> but this doesn't work and the apache online help of mod_alias doesn't gave me enough infos to find the problem. Any ideas ? Ralf
