in reply to How do I create friendlier URLS?
Add the following line to your httpd.conf file. Be sure it is outside of any <directory> containers. Then restart the server:
ScriptAlias /loadpage "/absolute path from root to/index.cgi"
Now you can call urls as:
http://www.mydomain.com/loadpage?10
The 10 will be the value of $ENV{QUERY_STRING} in index.cgi
