To do this, you will need to modify config.inc.php’s base_url settings for each conference, and enable RESTful URLs via mod_rewrite (or similar).
; Base URL override settings: Entries like the following examples can
; be used to override the base URLs used by OCS. If you want to use a
; proxy to rewrite URLs to OCS, configure your proxy's URL here.
; Syntax: base_url[conference_path] = http://www.myUrl.com
; To override URLs that aren't part of a particular conference, use a
; conference_path of "index".
; Examples:
; base_url[index] = http://www.myUrl.com
; base_url[myConference] = http://www.myUrl.com/myConference
; base_url[myOtherConference] = http://myOtherConference.myUrl.com
; Generate RESTful URLs using mod_rewrite. This requires the
; rewrite directive to be enabled in your .htaccess or httpd.conf.
; See FAQ for more details.

To configure RESTful URLs you will need to add code to your webserver configuration (for example, mod_rewrite in Apache). There is an old conversation on this on the previous forum:https://pkp.sfu.ca/support/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2616

Our setup is O…
