[Xitami] PHP/Alias Issues

[James Emmrich]

Hi Michael,

Yeah, a few of us have incountered this problem and to which there is no fix
at the moment (from what I have seen). It's really unfortunate, since
aliases are a really powerful feature when you want to expand a website or
provide shortcuts.

I posted on the board about this last month and I also emailed support about
the problem, so far I haven't heard anything to fix this.

Sorry for the bad news, but perhaps someone here has an idea that might just
do the trick.
James

Unfortunately index.php is what I need.  When I reference the directory as
http://servername/IlohaMail/source I get my perfectly functioning webmail
program (when it is a subset of the webpages folder).  However, the way this
thing works is there are some config folders I don't want people monkeying
around with located under IlohaMail, not just the "source" folder.
