.htaccess question

**cupido** · 06-24-2004, 10:22 AM

Ok here is a "dumb bunny question". I created a .htaccess file and added this statement:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm index.html

And it works! I no longer have to type: www.decorsavings.com/catalog/index.php

I can just type in the browser: www.decorsavings.com/catalog

BUT! What do I need to do, so that when someone types:

www.decorsavings.com into the browser it will go to

www.decorsavings.com/catalog

I looked in the Installation Guide, but didn't see where that was covered.

Thanks

Make a index.html file in you main site like:

Code:

&lt;html>
&lt;head>
&lt;META Http-equiv="refresh" Content="0; Url=https&#58;//www.yoursite.com/catalog">
&lt;title>
Transfering to site. &#40;Enter your own title here&#41;
&lt;/title>
&lt;/head>
&lt;body bgcolor=ffffff>
&lt;center>
&lt;br>
&lt;br>
&lt;b>Please wait while you are transfered to our site&lt;/b>&lt;br>
Or click &lt;a href="http&#58;//www.yoursite.com/catalog">http&#58;//www.yoursite.com/catalog&lt;/a>
&lt;/center>
&lt;/body>
&lt;html>

Good Luck!
