As noted the optimal way is using httpd.conf either directly or via a .htaccess file. You can rediret by placing this as you index.html. It will not hide the URL for you, but will get you to your cgi just by going to localhost/~user/

<head>
<title>Please wait while we redirect you.....</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://localhost/~user/cgi-
+bin/c.cgi?menu=1">
<script>window.location.href="http://localhost/~user/cgi-bin/c.cgi?men
+u=1"</script>
</head>

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
