Digitizer Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I'm assuming this will be easy for any intermediate/advanced user... But how can I make http://www.mysite/catalog become my default page, when people go to my site? Right now, the homepage is: http://www.mysite/index.html Not sure...please help! Thanks!!!!

rumphrey Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Go into your control panel and redirct the link from htttp://www.mysite.com to http://www.mysite.com/catalog When the redirct is completed in the control panel (by you), a visitor to your site will type www.mysite.com into the url address, and then the site will automatically redirected the user to your catalog.

♥Vger Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Best to load your store into the root of your web (no 'catalog' folder). Yes, you can redirect, but it will get you marked down by search engines. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitizer Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 Wow. What a great tip! Should I just go ahead and move it into the Root? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badjokes Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Wow. What a great tip! Should I just go ahead and move it into the Root? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, but don't forget to update BOTH configure.php files with the new path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitizer Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 I guess it's also possible to put in a simple PHP script as follows, in the root directory: <header("Location: /catalog");> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
