in reply to Hide the url.

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>
