Re: [Blosxom-users] Using Blosxom for the home page

[Lee U. <le...@cf...>]

Thanks, Carsten. I had seen that on the Blosxom site but I wanted to be able to differentiate between 404's and others.

Steve's idea seems to make sense so I'll try that one first.

| You can set up Apache, supposing your site is running on an Apache Web
| server, to redirect queries for files which don't otherwise exist to
| blosxom.
| 
| So, e.g. my own .htaccess looks like this:
| 
| RewriteEngine on
| RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
| RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
| RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.cgi/$1 [L,QSA]
| IndexIgnore *
| 
| (I have renamed blosxom.cgi to index.cgi)
| 
| 
| Other ways of doing this is described at www.blosxom.com, I believe.
| 
| That way you can have  a file "story.txt" in the base dir for your
| blosxom stories (not necessarily your root), and the URL
| 
| "http://www.yourdomain.com/story.html" will trigger Blosxom and how your
| story.
| 
| Hope that helps
