How to create an Alias for an http path
gscanga 09.07.2007 22:04:01
I'm pretty certain that I've done this before but obviously can't remember
how to do it (hey, I'm a windows admin, not a webmaster...).

I've got a request to set up an alias so users can enter a friendly name in
their browser and have the full path loaded. So, if I enter microsoft in my
browser's address field, I'll go straight to
www.microsoft.com/this_is/my_destination

So, the alias will take me straight to the server and a particular
sub-directory. My experience was on IIS but this particular system runs
apache/tomcat.

Thanks in advance.

You should post this in an Apache forum, this can't be done with DNS.
