[Koha] Koha ScriptAlias Work around?

[Dwayne Collins]

Hi Reed,

Thanks for the suggestion; it was one of the options I was thinking 
about; although I'll be honest when I say my skills with htaccess leave 
a bit to be desired.

The other option I was considering was changing the installation 
preferences so that the scripts were installed in the cgi-bin/koha 
directory rather than having to have any redirects at all, I'm weary to 
do this, though, without a clear idea of why the redirects used in the 
koha-httpd.conf file were put in place to begin with.

My host provider is Bluehost.com. I've been reading the list for awhile 
and many people seem to run into difficulties trying to get a Koha 
install to work with them.

Cheers,
Dwayne
