[users@httpd] Change from ~username to /username questions

["Rose, John B" <jb...@utk.edu>]

Has anyone changed access to personal web sites from

website.com/~username

 to

website.com/username

And still use

/home/username/public_html

As the home web directories?

If so, can you share your method?

Thanks

Greetings Yehuda,


1.) You can try something likfe this for one url:

RewriteRule ^~blog/(.*)$ /site/legacy/users/blog/$1 [R=301,L]


2.) You can also play with this rewrite to make fit for you:

RewriteEngine On
#RewriteLog logs/rewrite.log # Uncomment for rewrite logging
#RewriteLogLevel 3 # uncomment for verbose logging
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([^/]+)
RewriteCond /home/%1 -d
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)(.*) /home/$1/public_html/$2


Thanks,
Otis

mod_userdir does not support this. You would have to create a symlink for
each user.
Off the top of my head, you might be able to work around it with
mod_rewrite, but I can't test any rules now, so I don't want to try writing
one.
