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

["Ian McCabe" <idmccabe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried a number of the suggestions, namely:

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

Unfortunately the ^/users rendered the server offline after reboot and
the second one turned the main site into a free for all listing of its
content, but no
proper viewing of any files.

Can I just confirm that I need to place the content of this within the file
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

as I could not find any httpd file just within the /etc/httpd folder...

Also, and which may be affecting this: I have a username folder just below
the main web folder for the site. This appeared straight after trying the
ln -s command to provided earlier...

Anyone know how using SSH I can safely remove this folder and the folders
within it that lists a web folder and an identical username folder, which
again contains a web folder and the username again. This goes on a few
times...

Thanks

Ian
