Solve : .htaccess RewriteRule map URL to another?

Answer»

hi,

I've developed a web program and let say the main URL is http://domain.com

I will be distributing different URLs for different users, say http://domain.com/user1
and http://domain.com/user2

however, both this URLs will be pointing to the base code at http://domain.com
depending on whether is user1 or user2, the SYSTEM configuration will extract from the respective database.

my question is, how do i use mod_rewrite to map the different urls to the main url with transparency.

I've managed to do it with alias in httpd.conf. e.g:
alias /user1 /var/www/html/myproject
alias /user2 /var/www/html/myproject

however, if i were to do this, i would have to RESTART apache every time i've got a new user. so i've decided to use .htaccess INSTEAD but realised that alias is not availble for it.

I've tried with rewriterule but with no success.

Please advise. thank youhttp://www.linuxquestions.org
