Thank you very much Chris. If no one else replies, I'll surely be waiting for your response. Thanks //M On Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 2:32 PM, Chris Arnold wrote:

Hi Muhammad! What we did, I believe, was a rewrite in the host.conf file. So, access to helpdesk.domain.com rewrites to helpdesk.domain.com/otrs/customer.pl. I can't give you an example right now as I am at a client site but I can get that to you in about 3 hours or so (if nobody else replies here).

Hi all,

I know this is more of an HTTPD question, rather than OTRS - or so I believe. But I think you are more than capable of replying back with the answer in no time.

We used to call our OTRS server using the server IP, and not that currently the server holds nothing but OTRS in the default RPM installation directory; */opt/otrs*. We recently acquired added a DNS record support.company.com and pointed that to the OTRS server.

Running CentOS and HTTPD, of course typing the domain name shows the default Apache welcome screen, we have to add */otrs/index.pl* to access the server. Is it possible to access our OTRS by just going to the domain name?

Thanks //M

Hi Muhammad,****

In our installation, we offer just 3 URLs:****

**· **https://otrs.company.com/faq: entry point for PublicUsers*** *

**· **https://otrs.company.com/user: entry point for CustomerUsers ****

**· **https://otrs.company.com/agent: entry point for Agents****

**· **any 404 error redirects to the CustomerUser entry point.****

** **

We achieved this modifying our apache conf file (in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf):****

**· **We’ve added a virtualhost that redirects all incoming http to https:****

** **

****

RedirectPermanent / https://otrs.company.com/****

ErrorDocument 404 /user****

</VirtualHost>****

**· **Then, in ssl.conf section (among many other ssl-related config)****

** **

****

** **

ErrorDocument 404 /user ****

** **

# public, customer, agent frontend****

ScriptAlias /faq "/opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/public.pl"****

ScriptAlias /user "/opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/customer.pl"****

ScriptAlias /agent "/opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/index.pl"****

****

Alias /otrs-web/ "/opt/otrs/var/httpd/htdocs/"****

** **

**· **Then you have to add a location for each one of these ScriptAlias:****

** **

****

SetHandler perl-script****

PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry****

Options +ExecCGI****

PerlOptions +ParseHeaders****

PerlOptions +SetupEnv****

Order allow,deny****

Allow from all****

</Location>****

** **

I hope this will help you to configure your HTTPD server. ****

Hello Rudolf, Your method works like a charm, thanks a lot! I understand your point, and of course, it's 100% correct. Just trying to provide the easiest and smoothest environment :) To Chris, I still would very much appreciate if you could provide your method as well. Thanks //M On Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 2:43 PM, Rudolf Bargholz wrote:

I used the javascript alternative in the index.html:****

Note: we use the customer.pl so that our customers do not need to enter the full URL. For a tech support user it ought not be a problem for them to use the complete URL:****
