in order to remove the "/portal/page/portal/" I tried to use a URL rewrite rule.
I put RewriteRule ^/(.*)$/portal/page/portal/$1 [PT] at the bottom of my httpd.conf file and added /portal/page/portal/ and / to my portal builder url rewrite urls for that page group. however, the page still shows up as normal
http://servername.domainname.ca/portal/page/portal/pagegroup/page
Can someone tell me where I went wrong?
Also, would using a virtual host be the best way to hide the servername from the url and simply make it display www? I have been playing around with this, but have been unsuccessful in getting it to hide the server name

this needs to be done via DNS, not on the actual server. This will allow your server to be known as www.domain.com
To get rid of the part after the .com, the simplest way to do this would be to have a redirect page, so that when people go to www.yourdomain.com/webpage, they get redirected to the long oracle url.

I was able to get the first part of the url showing up just fine. it now shows up as www.domain.ca
I can, using portal url rewrite and rewriterules in the httpd.conf file, replace /portal/page/portal/pagegroup with say /home. However, I would like it to not show anything after the www.domain.ca when the user is on the main page.
I have tried to set my URL Rewriterule in portal as:
Search Pattern: /portal/page/portal/PageGroup
Replace Pattern: /
and my apache (httpd.conf) rule as:
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /portal/page/portal/PageGroup$1 [PT]
However, this setup gives me an error, and the portal pages do not display. What should I put for my rules so that that i can get rid of the extra parts of the url?
Would a redirect page leave out the extra parts after the / even if a user clicked on a link on that page that went to a subpage.

Why not use a frame?
You could setup a simple index page at the root of your server that includes nothing but a frame for the page you are trying to display.
This would also avoid any errors with the code in the page expecting itself to be in one place when it is actualy in another.

interesting idea.
wouldn't that never show anything after the www.domain.ca though?
i would like it so if the user clicked on a link to "webstuff" which would be a page in the same pagegroup as the main page to show up as www.domain.ca/webstuff. would this work with your frame idea?

sounds good.
our goal is to have the domain show up simply as "www.domain.ca" then when a page is clicked to have the subpages show up as "www.domain.ca/page/nextpage"
right now i have our main page and the links from that page (the 'tabs' and other things) all in one pagegroup. the subpages for the tabs are subpages under those pages so those will work fine as long as i can get the main pages is the home of the pagegroup setup.
this is why i though a url rewrite would work best since i just need to get rid of the initial junk in the url "/portal/page/portal/PageGroup" and replace it with nothing so that my url show's up nicely.
hopefully this makes some sence to you.
