[opencms-dev] New/better solution for generating nice URLs?

[Tobias Herrmann]

Dear Roman Uhlig,

to remove the second 'opencms' from links in published pages you also 
need to edit the opencms-importexport.xml. Remove ${SERVLET_NAME} from 
the element vfs-prefix  and you are set.

Sorry, forgot to mention that.

Greetings, Tobias
