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

["Ryan Verner" <xfesty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try doing this from the actual website http folder, not the users.

You're trying to make a link from inside the website, not inside the users
folder.

| 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
| --> folder of the
| --> site you're interested in, and do this:
| -->
| --> 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.

| --> | Hi all,
| --> |
| --> | Does anyone know how or what config file(s) need changing to
| --> get rid of
| --> the
| --> | ~ that apears infront of the users login name when used for a user
web
| --> area?
| --> |
| --> | i.e. by default the RaQ system has say:
| --> |
| --> | www.mydomain.com/~userloginname1
| --> | www.mydomain.com/~userloginname2 by default.
| --> |
| --> | I would like if possible to change this to:
| --> |
| --> | www.mydomain.com/userloginname1
| --> | www.mydomain.com/userloginname2
| --> |
| --> | Any ideas, suggestions or possible solutions would be very much
| --> | appreciated.....
