    Hi,

    I'm using Apache with Oracle APEX. Currently links are like http://host:port/pls/apex
    I would like it so that people could enter "http://apexdev" and it points to the apex home page but I've been having trouble getting it to work. I did a search on this forum and created a .htaccess & placed it in the Apache folder (previously I was pasting similar code in httpd.conf) but it doesnt seem to work:
    
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://apexdev [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://gbates90:7778/pls/apex/f?p=HKADM [R]
    Code (markup):
    When I enter "http://apexdev" I just get page cant be found. Someone see where I'm going wrong? Would me telling .htaccess to always open using notepad affect it? Server is Windows

    Thanks for any help.

    Mike

    The page is an intranet page if that makes a difference
