No index.html as homepage

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 29.2012

Hi,
I don’t want index.html to be loaded if someone goes to my site. Like test.com (is actually: test.com/index.html)
I want if you go to test.com (test.com/application/models/index.php) loads.
What should I change in my htacces file?

I know the easy solution is to have my index.html auto redirect to that location, but I think that’s not the most efficient way.

Thanks in common,
David

@cbVisionOct 29.2012 — I think you'll want something like this:

[CODE]
RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://www.test.com/application/models
[/CODE]

If that doesn't work, you'll want to try Googling for "change directory root htaccess."

@Major_PayneOct 30.2012 — You could set up an .htaccess rewrite condition, but actually "test.com/index.html" is not the same path as "test.com/application/models/index.php". If you want "test.com/index.html" to go to "test.com/application/models/index.php", the use the .htaccess file or try a 301 Redirect.

@abiabiahNov 02.2012 — You will need to have .htaccess file for url rewriting. A simple line of code below with redirect URL as per your needs:

Options +FollowSymLinks

DirectoryIndex index.php

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9} /index.php HTTP/

RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://www.askapache.com/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L][/QUOTE]
×

Success!
