I recently installed Apache 1.3.9 on a new webserver to replace our
current Netscape Server. We have users on our systems that access
their pages as http://www.ourdomain.com/users/accountname. Apache
expects the URL to be http://www.ourdomain.com/~accountname.

How do I set up Apache to allow the person browsing to
type /users/accountname into the browser so the server knows to find
the pages under /home/accountname? I have tried:

AliasMatch /users/(.*)/(.*) /home/$1/http/$2

with no luck. Maybe AliasMatch isn't what I'm needing here. This
command, when searching deeper into directories will return:

/home/accountname/dir1/dir2/http/ ...etc.

Any help would be great. Also, if you have any tips on converting
Netscape obj.conf files into Apache configs, let me know.

An example of how to do something similar (but slightly more complicated)
using mod_rewrite is at
