[users@httpd] Redirection from DocumentRoot

Hello *,

sorry for bother you with this (may be simple) question but I have following
problem.
Let's say that my document root is situated to the /usr/apache/htdocs/

Is it possible to configure apache so that after accessing to the
DocumentRoot page there
will be done automatic redirection to the /opt/apache/htdocs/testInstall so
that in URL will be seen
e.g. http://<ipadress/testInstall/?

thank you in advance

best regards
Petr

But that wouldn't redirect. He wants to display a different URL in the 
addressbar.

Unfortunatelly I do not have any idea how to use Alias for redirecting page
so the URL in web browser will be changed as well.

Could you please send me a short example?

best regards
Petr

I have tried your proposal but it returns during the restarting of
apache2.2:
Redirect to non-URL.

Unfortunatelly I do not know the name of the server, respectively URL is
always based on the IP address on the machine. E.g. http://<IP_address>/....

You can have a host (or vhost) with only 1 docroot. You can create a 
symlink to /opt/apache/htdocs/testInstall in /usr/apache/htdocs -

ln -svt /usr/apache/htdocs /opt/apache/htdocs/testInstall

Then configure apache like this -

	<Directory /usr/apache/htdocs>
		
		Options +FollowSymLinks
	
	</Directory>

	RedirectPermanent / /testInstall
