Point to another file

[Aruffell]

Using hosting with cpanel and i my forum is index.php but it has another php page in front of it before you can get to the forum called cmps_index.php.

How do i tell my hosting to point to cmps_index.php instead of index.php, so when people type the web address, it directs them to the right file.

Thanks,

Andy

I just renamed cmps_index.php to index.php, and updated the address in the admin CP.

Use an .htaccess file to make cmps_index.php the default page for the directory your forum resides in. You can do this with the DirectoryIndex directive.

• Create a file called ".htaccess"
• Add the line

  DirectoryIndex cmps_index.php index.php

  to it.
• Save the .htaccess and upload to the same directory as cmps_index.php

Now when you visit http://yoursite.com/forum/ you should get cmps_index.php instead of index.php.

All sorted now, moved forums into a folder and cmps as index.php one level up from the forum folder.

Things are live now
