Re: rh9, virtual hosts, PrettyWiki or just plain Working?

Hey Folks,

Hope Xmas was good (for those that do that).

I've got an update on my previous problem, and some of it's good news: 
I've successfully set up a virtual host without requiring any alteration
of the phpwiki RPM, and it only needs two files to get going right:

 - wiki file in the virtualhost document root that looks like this:
http://cvs.platypus.bc.ca/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/bishop/sites/www.platypus.bc.ca/wiki?rev=1.5
 - apache virtualhost setup that includes:
<virtualhost my.site.name>
        # regular stuff, plus:
        alias themes/ /var/www/html/phpwiki/themes/
</VirtualHost>

<Directory /virtualhost/document/root>
        Options +Includes
        Options +Indexes
        Options +ExecCGI
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>

Mine includes this and a few more bits:
http://cvs.platypus.bc.ca/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/bishop/virtualhosts/virtuals/platypus.bc.ca?rev=1.11


THE PROBLEM:
I'm still required to use an URL like:  https://my.site.name/wiki/HomePage
and I'd absolutely *love* to find out hwo to make it so that I only need
https://my.site.name/HomePage as a URL.

Anyone succeeded on this, yet?

I can't believe I've made it this far, that I still have most of my hair,
and I even have it all in CVS, even if several beers and the odd pizza
gave their all to support me in this endeavour.  Oh, and all the poor
souls on Halo:!Blood-Only[T1] over whom I totally ran amok in one
singularly excellent night of truly inspired gameplay.  Woo!
