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

["CMO - Thorsten Mitschele" <mitschele@xxxxxx>]

you can also add a line to your httpd.conf in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf for the
virtual-server entry

search for

AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/site17/users/$1/web/$3

and add the line

AliasMatch ^/users/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/site17/users/$1/web/$3

so you can access your users-dirs by using
www.domain.com/users/username
or
www.domain.com/~username


If you want to have this feature with every new installed server you can
also add this to your Vsite.pm in

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Cobalt/Vsite.pm

Search for:

<VirtualHost $addr>
ServerName $name
ServerAdmin $serveradmin
DocumentRoot $Htgroup_dir/$group/$Webdir
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^$addr(:80)?$my
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^$name(:80)?$my
RewriteRule ^/(.*)                      http://$name/\$1 [L,R]
RewriteOptions inherit
AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? $Htgroup_dir/$group/users/\$1/web/\$3
</VirtualHost>
EOF

and add

AliasMatch ^/users/([^/]+)(/(.*))? $Htgroup_dir/$group/users/\$1/web/\$3

after the Line: AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))?
$Htgroup_dir/$group/users/\$1/web/\$3
