Is this a job for mod_rewrite or mod_alias?

[rickbass]

Trying to work out how to do this:

[mydomain.net...]

should read:

[mydomain.net...]

but still pull the file from the /abo/ directory.

Is this possible?

Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

This would be a job for mod_rewrite or for a server config "Alias" directive.

You must change the URL on your pages to omit /abo/ and then use mod_rewrite to add it back in.

Realize that unless you wish to add /abo/ to *all* requested URLs, you will need to make those abo-less URLs easy for mod_rewrite to identify -- You have to provide some way for mod_rewrite to identify the URLs that it should add /abo/ to. Otherwise, it will add it to all requested URLs. Or maybe that's what you want...

Sometime, symlink can be a very good alternative.
It depends on script and site setup, though.
