Re: [expert] Tildeless user accounts

[Kathy Montgomery]

I am not an expert on Apache, but I found your question interesting and I poked around.  Rather than move files around to accomodate your URL, you might be able to tell Apache to use a desired URL format to point to the user's web directory.  See:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/urlmapping.html#user
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html (more advanced, I think)

A knowledge of regular expressions is desirable. :)

Hello list, just wondering if it is possible
to set up tildeless user accounts, like
for example instead of www.domain.com/~user/index.html

it would be www.domain.com/user/index.html

Is there a way to configure apache to do this?

No rush.

Thanks
