can I use rewrite for ~

[paleck]

My company recently bought another that and we have vastly different ways of handling personal websites. We host ours a members.domain.com/username and before it would have had http://www.domain.com/~username. Can I use rewrite to get this working? Thanks in advance!!!

I have simmilar question. I try to redirect http://example.com/~user to http://example.com/users/user but it's not working ( server return 404 )
Here is rewrite rule that I'm using:

Code: Select all

RewiteEngine on
RewriteRule   ^/~([^/]+)/?(.*)    /u// [R]


Example from URL Rewriting Guide ...

Correction:
RewriteRule ^/~([^/]+)/?(.*) /u/$1/$2 [R]

Try deleting the slash at the beginning.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^~([^/]*)/?(.*) /users/$1/$2 [R]

Thanx man
I resolve problem with

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/users/(.*) /~$1 [PT]
RewriteRule ^/~([^/]+)/?(.*) /users/$1/$2 [R]
RewriteRule ^/(users)/([^/]+)$ /$1/$2/ [R]
