I'm migrating an OS 9/WebSTAR server to an OS X Server, and a hundred or so people have user accounts. Since their current web addresses are in the format 'www.faculty.fairfield.edu/jsmith', I want to provide that same addressing scheme in OS X. My question is, how do I get the '~' to not be part of the URL? I figured out how to do a redirect for an individual in the httpd.conf file, but I don't want to have to enter 100+ redirects, and then add a new one every time I create a new account. There must be a way to add a redirect or alias that handles this for _all_ user accounts. If someone knows, can they please provide the precise syntax? I feel like I'm close, but don't quite know exactly how and where to enter the line in the config file.
