forum address / index.html

[JohnSG]

Hi

I am setting up a forum and currently i have the address as

http://forum.testsetup.com/forum.php

but i would like the site homepage just to be

http://forum.testsetup.com

Do i need to create an index.html that will redirect to the forum.php ?
Not sure how to go about it, any help would be great.

Cheers
J

You should have an index.php that may redirect to forum.php. If your site is defaulting to index.html instead of index.php, then you should either remove the index.html file or change your settings to point to the index.php file (if you don't know how to do that, ask your host).

Thanks for the tips,

I have setup the index.php as you have described. once you then type the address

http://forum.testsetup.com

it redirect straight to

http://forum.testsetup.com/forum.php

is there any way to make the homepage address just

http://forum.testsetup.com

without the forum.php appearing after it.

That would be something you would do server side, not via vbulletin.

OK.. Thanks for the info, will look into that.
