[opencms-dev] Réf. : Re: Can I assign a public URL to a microsite?

[Iván Velamazán González]

Yes, that's what I'm trying to do to reach 
"http://www.myserver.com/opencms" from "http://www.myserver.com", which 
is the last thing remaining, but when the host is shared with other 
users with completely different web-servers and you don't have root 
access to the machine, the whole thing gets complicated. :-)
