Yes it is.. I thought it was an Apache 1.1 feature, but perhaps it's 1.2? Hmm. "If not disabled, then a request for http://www.foo.com/~bob/one/two.html will be translated to: UserDir public_html -> ~bob/public_html/one/two.html UserDir /usr/web -> /usr/web/bob/one/two.html UserDir /home/*/www -> /home/bob/www/one/two.html The following directives will send redirects to the client: UserDir http://www.foo.com/users -> http//www.foo.com/users/bob/one/two.html UserDir http://www.foo.com/*/usr -> http://www.foo.com/bob/usr/one/two.html" Ie: UserDir http://freefall.freebsd.org/~*/ causes a redirect from http://www.au.freebsd.org/~jhs/foo.html to http://freefall.freebsd.org/~jhs/foo.html My memory is a little scratchy though, I seem to remember there's a problem with an extra slash appearing somewhere, we were doing this ourselves a few days ago when we moved our www CNAME. It might be either: UserDir http://freefall.freebsd.org/~ or UserDir http://freefall.freebsd.org/~* that works best. We now use a local path to a cgi script to ask people to update their bookmarks/links/etc with a link to the correct place. I didn't keep the config that used the url redirect. > -- > Andrey A.
