Re: [cobalt-users] Change default user's website URL "users/my_user"to "my_user"

["Jean-Philippe CAZARD" <jpcazard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I already have tried to use symbolics links, but it doesn't work :

1- I open a telnet session with login/password of the administrator of the
concerned website (let say "www.domain.com" physicaly on directory
/home/sites/site1)

2- I create a symbolic link in /home/sites/site1 with ln -s users/joe ./joe
(I also have tried ln -s -d ...)

Result : the URL www.domain.com/joe doesn't redirect to
www.domain.com/users/joe (I got a 404 error, while the URL
www.domain.com/users/joe is OK).

Any help ?

Best regards,
