Want to turn on the `usedirs` setting on an existing wiki without breaking all the links into it? Here's a way to do it for Apache, using the RewriteEngine. This example is for a wiki at the top of a web site, but can be adapted to other situations. # pages RewriteCond $1 !^/~ # these pages RewriteCond $1 !^/doc/ # are not part of RewriteCond $1 !^/ajaxterm # the wiki, so RewriteCond $1 !^/cgi-bin/ # don't rewrite them RewriteCond $1 !.*/index$ RewriteRule (.+).html$ $1/ [R] # rss feeds RewriteCond $1 !^/~ RewriteCond $1 !.*/index$ RewriteRule (.+).rss$ $1/index.rss # atom feeds RewriteCond $1 !^/~ RewriteCond $1 !.*/index$ RewriteRule (.+).atom$ $1/index.atom
