Thanks for the quick response. What if I need
http://www.dept.some.edu/group to go to the overview.html rather than the
index.html in the /var/www/html/long/path/to/group directory, if adding
'overview.html' to DirectoryIndex in the httpd.conf file is not an option?
I'd try Alias first. Failing that, I would try mod_rewrite next. So I
tried
Alias /group/index.html /var/www/html/long/path/to/group/overview.html
When I go to http://www.dept.some.edu/group, I got page not found.
You could use
AliasMatch ^/group/$ /var/www/html/log/path/to/group/overview.html
Alias /group/ /var/www/html/log/path/to/group/
But why can't you use DirectoryIndex? This directive can be scoped
inside <Directory> or <Location> sections and can also contain
multiple filenames.
