Yes this is possible. You can use alias directive and or a rewrite directive. I would recommend a rewrite instead of a redirect as often Apache doesnt like to be redirected to itself. Here is some good documentation on how to use it: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html Shawn Beard Web Administrator, MCSE, MCSA, MCP Iowa Foundation for Medical Care Information Systems sbeard@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Office: 515-440-8581 >>> bdu@xxxxxxxxxxx 8/25/2006 10:09:08 AM >>> Hello, We're running Apache 2.0.52 on RHEL 4. After moving a site to a new Apache server that has a new file structure, we did redirect for a customer to keep their old URL working. The redirection http://www.dept.some.edu/somegroup => http://www.dept.some.edu/long/path/to/somegroup works fine. They can still see their site using the old URL http://www.dept.some.edu/somegroup. However the customer came back complaining about the long URL http://www.dept.some.edu/long/path/to/somegroup. What they want is show their site but without changing URL caused by redirection. I call it transparent redirect. Is that even possible? If yes, how? I'd appreciate any thoughts, ideas or pointers.
