Now, let's consider another (soon-to-be-real-life) case. The wiki files=20
are in /public_html/spirolattic/.

<thinking class=3D"aloud">

Let's say I create /thing/ (same level as /public_html/) and set that as=20
the root directory for the domain spirolattic.net. I create a file=20
called "wiki" as directed above, in the directory /thing/ =3D> /thing/wik=
i.

a) is there any way I can make the script "wiki" access the WikiFiles=20
which are in /public_html/spirolattic/ (mapped as another domain name)?

b) if it was possible (I suspect it isn't, though), then I could access=20
the wiki by spirolattic.net/wiki/

=3D> b1) could I tell my server that "wiki" is the default file to look=20
for in a directory (not "index.php"), so that the "wiki/" part=20
disappears in the uri? (again, I don't think it is possible, as it isn't=20
when the default file is "index.php")

</thinking>

Ok, in fact I just want to be sure I'm right in thinking these things=20
aren't possible.

As I see it (considering I don't want to move my WikiFiles), I'll have=20
to make the new domain point to a directory on the same level as the=20
current wiki directory, and then do some nasty mod_rewrite so that pages=20
can be accessed as http://spirolattic.net/RecentChanges - for example.

Does anybody see any other solutions to this?

Thanks :)

Tara
