RE: [cobalt-users] Aliases

No I dont mean CNAME.
In the Virtual host setup, you can specify an alias for the site (basically
another domain that points to the same site)

In fact it just adds a ServerAlias entry into the httpd.conf file.

The problem is that it also enters a rewrite rule to keep redirecting to the
main name. so that if you type in the alias url it bounces you to the main
url.

I want to turn this off. I know I can simply comment out the rewrite entry
in httpd.conf but I dont know if this is allowed. Will it cause any problems
with the GUI?

Also can I turn this off globally. I.e. stop the GUI from putting this
rewrite rule in virtual hosts.

Put simply I want two (or more) domains to point to the one virtual site and
serve out normally. It is dead easy. But the GUI keeps placing a rewrite
rule in there.

Thanks
Tom
