Re: Making a PSP as startup page

Hi Bhavesh!

First off, /pls is a prefix, which triggers apache to call mod_plsql for request processing. This changed in 9iAS 9.0.2 and /pls is no longer mandatory. /pls should not actually be passed to mod_plsql, everything past it should, while prefix notifies apache that mod_plsql will handle the request.

Of course, you can use mod_rewrite to rewrite URLs before processing them, and module is very powerful. You need to construct a regular expression that will match a pattern you need,
something like

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /pls/$1 [PT,NC]

PT flag means that rewritten URL should be passed for further processing, and NC turns case-sensitivity off (mod_plsql is case-insensitive).
Again, note that in 9iAS 9.0.2 this does not apply - mod_plsql is configured differently in this release, so you probably will not need to rewrite anything.
