Hi there, I completely new in Apache config and all that stuff. I've got a wiki (for example : http://wiki.thierrykennes.com) and when I want to create a page Test.com so that it looks like this : http://wiki.thierrykennes.com/Test.com, it doesn't work because of the dot. I was told to look on .htaccess about "RewriteRule" and I thought of adding somethg like that : RewriteRule (.*)\.(.*)$ substitution Is my pattern right ? and also what can I put instead of "substitution" ? Thanks a lot for your further reply. ps: and sorry for my bad english :)
When you say "it doesn't work because of the dot", what exactly does that mean? Your wiki software doesn't support that type of file name? If so, you can indeed hide the true name using mod_rewrite with something like RewriteRule (.*)\.(.*) $1$2 I wouldn't suggest using a rule exactly like that, however, since it could lead to undesired (and possible dangerous) rewriting. Try something more specific like RewriteRule ^Test\.com$ Testcom (with the possible addition of an appropriate RewriteBase directive) or if you use httpd.conf instead of .htaccess RewriteRule ^/Test\.com$ /Testcom Joshua. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
