I am trying to figure out how to redirect a url. How would i redirect

www.wolfpacksoftware.jodohost.com/forums

to send the user to

www.wolfpacksoftware.jodohost.com/forums/index.php

Is this possible?

Thanks

WHat you need here is to set a new directory index.

  1. log into your CP
  2. Click on Web Settings
  3. Click on your Domain
  4. Toggle on Directory Indexes
  5. Enter “index.php”

If you are on Linux, you may have to wait for upto 15 minutes before these changes come into effect.

That has actually solved another problem that i had with setting up the default web page - thanks :slight_smile:

I now have:

www.wolfpacksoftware.jodohost.com so that it opens the default page but what i was originally looking for was so that when the user types in
www.wolfpacksoftware.jodohost.com/forums
it will automatically forward them to
www.wolfpacksoftware.jodohost.com/forums/index.php

Is this possible? :smiley:

Thanks again

When www.wolfpacksoftware.jodohost.com/forums is opened, the web server will automatically read from www.wolfpacksoftware.jodohost.com/forums/index.php . What do you mean by redirect? You want that to show in the address bar?

It just clicked :slight_smile:

I understand now that the names i put in ‘Directoy Indexes’ are looked for in the folder that i type in.

Thanks for the help :smiley:
