RE: [cobalt-developers] Replacing /~user with /user

["Ian McCabe" <idmccabe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tried what you suggested, but I think I may have gone wrong somewhere.

I went into the users folder and typed the -ln -s ~username username

I think that is where I went wrong. Should I have done it in that users
folder, just beneath that users folder in the main users folder listing all
of them, or further below that.

I know have a structure as such: /users/username/ with another two folders
of username and web, but inside this username I have another folder with
username and web folders, and within that username I have another username
and web folder.

Oooooooooops

With this though, I still can not get to access domain.com/username as
opposed to domain.com /~username

Do I need to reboot for it to work or have I totally mucked this up and any
ideas on how I safely remove these additional folders of username and web
inside the username and web sub-folders....

Thanks Ian

--> Sure...
-->
--> telnet/ssh into your cobalt, cd to the correct http serving

-->
--> ln -s ~user user
-->
--> Replacing user with the username, of course.
-->
--> This of course requires that your site DOES follow SymLinks (Options
--> SymLinks in your apache config), which I'm not sure on your particular
--> Cobalt is enabled or not.  Give it a try, in any case.

--> | www.mydomain.com/userloginname1
--> | www.mydomain.com/userloginname2
