Your site is missing an index page.

Copy this down

 

 

<?php

header( 'Location: http://www.YOURSTORE.com/catalog' ) ;

?>

 

paste it into note pad, change the YOURSTORE for your real store leaving /catalogon the end, and save it like this (include the quote marks also or it will save with .txt on the end and will not work)

"index.php"

 

Upload this file to your public_html directory,

it will redirect users to your catalog folder.

 

You could also just move the catalog up one level

Thank you for replying , actually I am not missing the index.php. It redirects me to index.php when I tape www. mydomeinname.com/catalog, but I need to be redirect to index.php when I tape www. mydomainname.com. Thank you

You are missing an index page, in your document root. Follow Nic's instructions and upload it to your document root - not the catalog directory. Unless there is a good reason not to, you should do as suggested and move the contents of the catalog directory, out of the catalog directory. Doing that, you won't have the problem anyway. You should also prevent directory listing, from your control panel.
