Maybe the directives may simply be written as : RedirectMatch /twiki/?$ /cgi-bin/twiki/view$1 RedirectMatch /twiki(/([A-Z].*)?)?$ /cgi-bin/twiki/view$1 As this seems to work (at least in apache 2.2), according to docs at : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect : "The new URL should be an absolute URL beginning with a scheme and hostname, but a URL-path beginning with a slash may also be used, in which case the scheme and hostname of the current server will be added." Thus there would be no need to reconfigure that during postinst. Hope this helps, -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
