Tried what you suggested, but I think I may have gone wrong somewhere. I went into the users folder and typed the -ln -s ~username username
I think that is where I went wrong. Should I have done it in that users folder, just beneath that users folder in the main users folder listing all of them, or further below that. I know have a structure as such: /users/username/ with another two folders of username and web, but inside this username I have another folder with username and web folders, and within that username I have another username and web folder. Oooooooooops With this though, I still can not get to access domain.com/username as opposed to domain.com /~username Do I need to reboot for it to work or have I totally mucked this up and any ideas on how I safely remove these additional folders of username and web inside the username and web sub-folders....
