Subject: RE: [users@httpd] redirect document root

You are better off writing something to change all of the code
(search/replace) and make it all relative (site independent). Either =
that,
or just put it where it likes to be.=20

If you have it setup as a vhost or the site is on its own, you can just =
do
a redirect into the /ao/ directory, and it may be ok.

Rewrites, in my professional opinion, are not the 'correct' way to do
this. Although others may not agree, rewrites are bandaids in a lot of
scenarios. Good ones, but nonetheless a bandaid.=20

e.g.:

the login page is at login/main.jsp. It loads a frameset. Generally, =
some
of
the links are absolute, like /ao_unten.htm, others are relative like

Accessing /login/main.jsp results in=20

This is not a good problem description.  What exactly is the problem
you are trying to solve?  Is it absolute links in your application?=20
What exactly do the links look like?  What do you get in the error and
access log when you try to run it?
