I'm setting up a company BBS and I want the url mydomain.com to point to mydomain.com/groupee.
(Trying to make it as easy as possible for the users. They're not very technical.)
Right now, mydomain.com is the placeholder provided by Groupee. Is there an easy way for me to simply redirect users over to the mydomain.com/groupee url?

Thanks,
Greg

Sure is. GO into your file manager, into the public_html directory. Look for a file named .htaccess. Click teh edit link and take a look at the file. It's a redirect. Smile

remove all 3 # signs
replace the example domain name with your real domain name.

Done!

My .htaccess only contains "Options-Indexes".
I've tried the following code
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome to INVChat.com</title>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.invchat.com/groupee/">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Redirecting to INVChat.com forums.
</BODY>
</HTML>

but I only get the 500 Internal Server Error.
Thanks for the help,
Greg

This worked:
Redirect 301 / http://www.invchat.com/groupee/

I have to give credit to Webweaver.nu for the code.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, David.

Hi Greg,

This is the default .htaccess that is inserted when a site is created.

#Options +FollowSymlinks
#RewriteEngine ON
#RewriteRule ^$ http://www.yourdomain.com/eve [R,L]


As my instructions above, remove the 3 # signs, and replace "yourdomain.com" with your real domain

Might need to replicate the rewrite rule line for without the www.
