Redirect to default.php question

[Dr_Evil]

Hi,
My host has the requirement that i install my site to the specified folder named "httpdocs". It is in this folder that index.html (or what ever) must exist.

After i have installed osc I have this folder structure httpdocs\catalog\etc. So the defult.php file is now located in a directory, below that of what the server is looking for when the URL is entered into a browser.

My question is how can I make it so when I type in WWW.MYSERVER.COM i get automatically redirected to default.php in the catalog folder and thus display that home page?

Many thanks.

Best way would be to move, or re-upload the contents of \catalog\ to \httpdocs then do a search for info on .htaccess and setting the default page.

Or you could just read the oscdox guide. It has instuctions on how to install to the document root, step by step:

http://oscdox.com/modules.php?op=mod...ocument%20Root

Wherever it says public_html, it is the same as httpsdocs.

There are also detailed instructions on how to set the index pages using .htaccess. Its all there, just read!

another option is use a metatag refresh - less involved.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.yourdomainname.com/catalog/">
