[BlueOnyx:24233] Re: Personal web pages in 5210R

Very interesting.
I will have to study up on the AliasMatch function, looks like it might solve
my problem

The 5210R has a different directory structure to the 5109R, so you will have to modify your
rules. I am still tackling the auto addition of subdomains for 100+ users
where the DNS is on another server.

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:
