Hello,

The file & directory structure of my website is as follows:

/Library/WebServer/mysite/joomla .. /Library/WebServer/mysite/wiki .. /Library/WebServer/mysite/forum .. /Library/WebServer/mysite/index.php

As you see, there are various applications each residing in separate folders.

Now, in order to define this structure, I have made this entry in Apache http-vhosts.config file:

ServerName mysite.com DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/mysite" **

And I already have the DirectoryIndex defined: DirectoryIndex index.html index.php, and so on.

So far so good but I want this specific functionality: When someone visits mysite, he/she should automatically directed to:

/Library/WebServer/mysite/joomla

(and therefore /Library/WebServer/mysite/joomla/index.php)

I don't want to achieve that functionality by putting a redirection code inside

/Library/WebServer/mysite/index.php

or

/Library/WebServer/mysite/index.htm

because that causes time delays (because of the redirection, of course)

But in this case, the only proper way of achieving it seems to set DocumentRoot this way:

DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/mysite/joomla"

But when I set it that way, then the other folders (/wiki, /forum, etc.) are simply not served by Apache. To work around it, I put directives like:

Alias /wiki /Library/WebServer/mysite/wiki .. Alias /forum /library/WebServer/mysite/forum

and it did work actually the way I wanted.

But... I still cannot use it that way because in this case I just couldn't manage to make the wiki use Short URLs (as described in link text)

So, I have to set the DocumentRoot back to

/Library/WebServer/mysite

and shoud be able to assign

/Library/WebServer/mysite/joomla as the "default directory" (my own terminology :)

Can I do it in Apache? Is there any other way you might suggest?

Thanks.
