My LAN administrator changed my user name and so there are some old links on the net that I'd like to catch and redirect to the new user's site.For instance, I would like for requests to http://reg066.reg.utexas.edu/~rgrtw/fink/installed.txt be redirected to http://reg066.reg.utexas.edu/~rgrtw-05/fink/installed.txt. I have found that using: Alias /fink/ "/Users/rgrtw-05/Sites/fink/" Alias /fink "/Users/rgrtw-05/Sites/fink" will work for http://reg066.reg.utexas.edu/fink/installed.txt but not for the old user name. Old user name: rgrtw new user name: rgrtw-05If I could solve the problem for the specific case above, I would be quite happy. That is, I don't need a general solution, but if you have one, by all means please share it.Is this your own box and do you have write access to /etc/httpd/httpd.conf? You could add:Redirect permanent /~rgrtw http://reg066.reg.utexas.edu/~rgrtw-05 to the end of the file and restart your Apache server.The Redirect permanent instructs clueful clients to forget the old URL and use the new one from now on.Note that if/when Apple decides to update Apache through Software Update, it'll move your edited config aside and install a new one: the redirect will disappear.S. --sctemme@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.temme.net/sander/ PGP FP: 51B4 8727 466A 0BC3 69F4 B7B8 B2BE BC40 1529 24AF
Wow, that was easy...! (Yes, I have admin privileges on this box.) I had been messing around with a 403 response, but this worked like a charm. Thanks!
