    Using Alais stored in DB

    I was using Drupal for one of my websites. There I was able to define aliases for my nodes and that is what would display in the address bar. I am moving away from Drupal, but want to use the aliases that I have already defined.

    Is this possible through Apache, and if so can someone please point me to something that explains how to do this. Everything I have googled as returned me nada on results, so I am sure I am looking for the wrong thing.

      I have no experience with Drupal, but what I imagine you are looking for is mod_rewrite to handle URL rewriting.

          That is what i figured I would need, but can't find anything on how to pull that from a database.

              No, you won't be able to.

                  You could do a "SELECT dst, src FROM url_alias" once, store the result in a file named old_drupal_mapp ings.cfg and rewrite them in Apache with "RewriteMap alias-to_node txt:/path/to/old_drupal_mapp ings.cfg". (In case that you're planning to store the old drupal content under its old node/... pathes.)

                  Regards,

                  Bernd
