 |
|
| I have a tech forum setup for my web site and the files are within the cgi folder for Apache. When you go to the forum, in the addy bar, it shows the path of the perl script. ie: www.somewebsite/cgi-bin/forum_folder/perl_script.pl. Can I create an alias for the forum folder and have a specific script set as the index file. Like when I type the addy, www.somesite/forum/, the initial script would automatically load. Does this make any sense? |

Is there something specific about the Alias directive you do not understand?
One thing you need to keep in mind is it is tricky on the trailing slash, have it on one side must be on the other
e.g. Alias /whatever "c:/www/mysite/whatever"
or
Alias /whatever/ "c:/www/mysite/whatever/"
Cannot be a mish-mash of the two
Look up DirectoryIndex in the Docs as well. |
