[BlueOnyx:24229] Re: Personal web pages in 5210R

[Meaulnes Legler @ MailList]

hello

I also run 5209Rs (looking forward to upgrade to 5210R!:-) and also used a similar «rigging» that Michael proposed.

For many users, specially those with foreign keyboards, the use of the ~ tilde is too intricate and/or they aren't able to type it... So I added this line in httpd.conf (actually in /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/site#.include where # is the site number) so one could use a - hyphen instead of a ~ tilde to open its personal web:

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

That works fine. But unfortunately the redirection to the subdomain from name/domain/tld to domain.tld/~name didn't work, maybe because of recent https installation. Hopefully with 5210R?

Best regards
