Default /switches (or whatever there called)

Another thing I've noticed now that I have moved over to eUKhost is that some of my links have stopped working. In my code, and on some advertising, I used URL's such as 'www.domain.com/folding' This used to look for all files starting with folding and return the file it first found. This was a useful feature for changing my mind about the code a page should be written in.

i.e. It would find folding.html, or folding.shtml, or folding.php, or folding.pl and return the page. It would also return a file as a download, such as folding.doc, or folding.xls.

It allowed useful, quick style, linking such as:

www.domain.com/help
www.domain.com/terms
www.domain.com/tips

Without the need for each to be set as an Alias.


I'm sorry I don't truly know what this is called but I liked it and used it. I think its an Apache module. Can this be enabled for my sites?

All help appreciated.

Thumbs up

This can be achieved through the Apache 'mod_rewrite' [URL Rewriting Engine] Module. Please refer these links for more info: Link-1 Link-2 Link-3
