WW,

Thanks for the help, but I have no idea where it goes, or how I use it.

I think I'll be needing some spoonfeeding on this one.

Hi,

I am trying to take a URL that looks like this:

http://www.domain.com/webstore/web_store.cgi?product=ProductName

and make it look like:

http://www.domain.com/store/shop/ProductName

I am being told to use:

scriptaliasmatch ^/webstore/web_store.cgi?product=(.*)
/home/pmt/public_html/store/shop/

But I have no idea about the how/where/why to all this... Do I need to make another file? Where does this go? Can somebody step-by-step me? I've googled scriptaliasmatch, and to be VERY honest, I have no idea how it works.

Thanks for your help,

Pete

I haven't done any Apache work in quite a while.... I'd suggest taking this to a tech forum

I'm an ASP.NET guy so I am clueless on helping you out, but from what I googled on it, it looks like a masking techique that's used to point particular URLS that have been passed into the server that have a pre-defined partial match to a stored string to use a different URL in place of the one that's been passed. I saw nothing in the four or five documentation pages I looked at that showed how this assignment is actually used after the masking transformation takes place. You need an Apache specific forum. I'd refer you to the one at Tek-tips.com, but I didn't get any hits on the command there either, so you may need a Usenet forum or some place where guys who eat this for breakfast hang out, as the mighty Webwench said.

Hi,

Yup... I have it posted on Tek too... seems the command goes in .htaccess, now I have to see if I have access to that... got to go roaming around my dirs via FileZila and see what I turn up.

If anyone has any ideas where .htaccess lives, PLEASE chirp up .

Thanks a million,

Pete
