You'll want to use your webserver's rewrite engine to do this. For apache, it's mod_rewrite. It's pretty straightforward to do, especially for something like this.
I believe it'd be something like: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/foo/(.*)$ /where/your/files/are/on/disk/$1 [L] so if bar is in /var/www/foo/bar RewriteRule ^/foo/(.*)$ /var/www/foo/$1 [L] will reroute request for /foo/x to /var/www/foo/x --Philip Neustrom On 12/14/05, Peter Jay Salzman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i have a directory on my webserver that contains some fairly popular pages. > > i'd like to change the url from > > http://www.dirac.org/foo/bar > > to > > http://www.dirac.org/bar > > is there a graceful way to do this and have the info updated by the search > engines? i hear that google puts higher rankings on urls that are around > for a long time. anyway of avoiding that reduction in rank? > > pete > _______________________________________________ > vox-tech mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech > _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
