HTML Redirect

[oceans]

Dear People,

 

Can any one help me in redirect.

 

I have an Index.php, in it i have a redirect instruction pointing else where.

 

I am trying a new server, in it they have Index.html, I removed it and placed my Index.php, but the server is not "seeing" my Index.php.

 

How can I make the server "see" this Index.php despite of the original Index.html.

 

Thanks..

i am assuming that index.php is in the public_html/ directory or www/ (they are the same).

 

so if the index.html page is gone, what does it show when you go to www.yoursite.com

the index of / page?

this is a servr configuration - the server is instructed to find the default file in a directory normally index.htm or index.html.

 

if you have .htaccess ability to alter this setting then simply place the following line in your .htaccess file

 

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

 

if you don't then you need to ask your server people to add index.php to the list. If they are running apache then ask them change the

'DirectoryIndex' setting to:

 

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

@toon: Is it case sensitive?

 

If so, he did say Index.php (notice the capital letter i). Maybe change the letter case.

possibly...

 

I was completely oblivious to that - but the I have got to the point where uppercase letters in files is unfamiliar to that I probably just read past it.
