Sounds like a job for mod_rewrite. You'll need to ensure that you're
loading mod_rewrite.so, and then add something like the following (keeping in mind that I'm not a win32 guy, so I'm guessing a bit):
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /([^/]+)/(.*) E:\Websites\$1\ROOT\$2 [L]
This will work if all incoming requests are in the form:
http://www.example.com/User1
http://www.example.com/User2
etc,
If you have *any* directories under '/' that are *not* user directories,
then a bit more finagling will be required; something along the lines
of:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/nonuserdirectory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/another_nonuserdirectory
RewriteRule /([^/]+)/(.*) E:\Websites\$1\ROOT\$2 [L]
(both these rules are untested; Caveat Administrator)
Obviously, the precise recipe will be site-dependant. =)
Some mod_rewrite links:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html
I'd recommend playing with this on a test system with RewriteLogLevel
cranked up to 9 until you get the behavior you want.
