[support] Drupal URLs

[John Callahan]

Go with a virtual host, if possible.  It easily maps a URL to a 
subfolder.  Should work the same on Windows, *nix, etc...    An example 
would be something like:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
DocumentRoot C:/Apache2.2/htdocs/drupal
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions Inherit
ErrorLog "logs/coastal_error.log"
LogLevel warn
CustomLog "logs/coastal_access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>

Most of the time I only use Apache Rewrite for removing (or adding) the 
www and clean URLs.
