[users@httpd] having trouble rewriting an url from pilotalk.com/drupal to pilotalk.com

[Scott <sb...@northlc.com>]

Hello there,

I am having some trouble when writing my rewrite rule to allow people to 
access www.pilotalk.com instead of www.pilotalk.com/drupal.  I have read the 
examples in the httpd book and tried a couple but they don't seem to be 
doing what I want here is what I currently have.  It is in a conf file for 
drupal Cms.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/$ /usr/share/drupal/


The drupal installation is at /usr/share/drupal and this is a Fedora 7 
machine.  Thanks for any help.

Scott

What do you mean "conf file for drupal Cms"? These are apache httpd
directives that need to be in an apache config file like httpd.conf.

And what happens when you try it? What is in the RewriteLog?

At minimum, I expect that drupal needs access to more than just its
first page under that path, so you would need to redirect all requests
as in
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /usr/share/drupal/$1

But that brings up the question: Why don't you just point your
DocumentRoot at /usr/share/drupal? If that isn't what you want, you'll
need to better explain exactly how you want your system to behave.
