make sure mod_rewrite in your server is ON before installing this mod

[tooman]

you can find in .htaccess file, if not find, you must 'show hidden' in your file manager

Did you get the mod installed?  There are lots of folks that use that mod as I am not aware of an easier method to accomplish what you are asking.  Let us know how it goes.
