How Do I Prevent My Entire URL From Displaying ? And Make Only The Directory Show ?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 18.2011

I have a website that I built in dreamweaver and is hosted on justhost.com.

I want my url to say [url]www.mywebsite.com/directory/[/url]

but instead it displays [url]www.mywebsite.com/directory/index.html[/url]

I read multiple articles that stated if I simply changed my main html file in the directory to index that it would only display the directory but all my pages still display

[url]www.mywebsite.com/directory/index.html[/url]

instead of

[url]www.mywebsite.com/directory/[/url]

which is what I want, If anyone could tell me what I need to do to make my website do this it would be greatly appreciated. again I’m using dreamweaver to do my coding and my website is hosted on justhost.com

@coldfire421Apr 18.2011 — its not about your code in the html. its about the server configuration where you hosted your site. by default web server configuration look for index.html or index.php or home or default. depend on the server configuration.

@magalhApr 27.2011 — look for the .htaccess file at the root of the site and add the following:

RewriteEngine on

rewritecond %{http_host} ^yoursite.com [nc]

rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

Should do the trick
