Richard CmptrWz 09-30-2001, 04:16 PM You COULD make an alias...... Haisoft 09-30-2001, 05:30 PM Could someone please give me step by step instructons how to change the httpd.config file (is it the one in etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ? , there where 2 others when I did a whereis ). Can you edit the file directley with telnet or do you have to download it using ftp. I've downloaded it changed it, what do I do next (a wget or something? , Do I have to delete the old one first, how do you rename a file using telnet (easier to rename and put back afterwards if something goes wrong). Once it is done, do I have to restart the server??? Richard slade 09-30-2001, 05:56 PM You can do what you asked for originally with .htaccess... RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^olddir/oldfile.html$ newdir/newfile.html [R=301] But I am not sure of the effect of this if you're wanting to move alot of files in alot of olddir's... Perhaps someone wiser can grace us with a better answer? |
