[users@httpd] using mod_rewrite to change home page
Hi,
At the moment, I have Apache installed on Linux. I do not have a domain name. I am using the IP address to access the website. I want users to be brought directly to
http://10.10.10.10/greenstone/cgi-bin/library.cgi?site=localhost&a=p&p=about&c=test3&l=en&w=utf-8
when they type in the IP address or, in time, the domain name.
I want to make the Web addresses easier to remember.
I think this is done with mod_rewrite and regular expressions but I can't find the syntax anywhere
Less importantly, I would like
http://10.10.10.10/greenstone/cgi-bin/library.cgi?e=p-01000-00---off-0test3--00-1----0-10-0---0---0direct-10---4-------0-1l--11-en-50---20-about---00-3-1-00-0--4--0--0-0-11-10-0utfZz-8-00&a=d&cl=CL2
to become
http://10.10.10.10/photographers
and
http://10.10.10.10/greenstone/collect/test3/index/assoc/HASH4dbf.dir/Portumna%20Abbey%202.jpg
to become
http://10.10.10.10/images/large/HASH4dbf.dir/Portumna%20Abbey%202.jpg
I would appreciate any help with this.
Regards,
John

This should not normally be necessary, save extremely complicated web apps.

In order to create pretty/fancy URLs, your program, in this case Greenstone,
needs to support setting fancy URLs or you need to set up a reverse proxy
(which is much more complicated than mod_rewite).
In a quick bit of research, it does not seem that Greenstone does. You might
want to ask a Greenstone users list. you can find Greenstone support
resources here: http://www.greenstone.org/support
To set up a reverse proxy, you will need to know how the URLs in Greenstone
are created. I understand that the program is open-source and written in C++
and some Java (and maybe more), so you should be able to find that out
without too much trouble.
