Why not reverse this and redirect from the wiki.python.org/PageName to wiki.python.org/moin/PageName for all page names that don't start with (moin/|psf/|jython/) ? That way you get your shortened URLs, but don't have to change the way MoinMoin is configured or play with domain names and new Apache virtual server setups. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Dec 20 2011) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
