Besides the META tag, you can use the URL rewriting capabilities of the
web server to do the redirects for you.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html provides a
pretty good primer on the subject and if you search for something along
the lines of "apache mod_rewrite", I'm sure you'll turn up other
articles as well. If you start messing with rewriting, make sure you
turn its logging level up since it's easy to do incorrectly. It also
helps to know regular expressions since that's used to do pattern
matching.
For the second question in the original email, the answer is yes, but
only if you have virtual hosting set up. If not, both host names will
bring up the same content. I'm certain that if you search through the
archives, you'll find examples of setting up virtual hosts.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/ is the official documentation
and IBM's (from what I recall) wasn't all the great. Also, I personally
found it very difficult to get this set up correctly using the admin GUI
and I ended up hand editing the file.

The way I do this is to place an index.html file in folder /Joe that has
a
redirect HTML meta tag redirect to the page I want them at.
Example: <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=Joe.html">

Subject: [WEB400] How do you do this?
I need to have a url like:
http://www.mydomain.com/Joe get directed to
a
specific page that is in
http://www.mydomain.com/ (ie:
http://www.mydomain.com/Joe.html - don't ask d*mn laywers). while the
url
entry
http://www.mydomain.com/ will just go to the normal home page. is
this a redirect of urls, virtual host, smoke and mirrors, or what?
Also on the same note if we were to have
http://NewPage.mydomain.com/ as
an
entry would this be treated as a virtual host or what?
I've looked at the archives but since I don't know for sure what I'm
looking
for, not sure if I found an answer or was looking for the wrong thing!
As you can tell Admin is not my forte!
