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

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

Thank you for your suggestion, but it doesn't solve my problem.

It's very important for me that URL for user "joe" on website
www.domaine.com is www.domain.com/user NOT www.domain.com/~user, because at
this time, all my users already have their websites on another server with
the URL without the "~", and I have to transfer all their websites on a
unique website on a RAQ3

Solution given by flash22@xxxxxxx (use of rewrite directive in .htaccess)
seems to be THE good one, but doesn't work on my server ... and I don't
understant WHY !
I have build a .htaccess (in ../sites/site#/web) with :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/joe/(*) /users/joe/$1 [L]

But I get a 404 error on URL www.domain.com/joe while URL
www.domain.com/users/joe is OK

Thank you for your help based on the solution of rewrite directives in
.htaccess file

Best regards,

JP CAZARD
