Making my domain name go straight to forums

How do I make it so that when people type my domain name, it goes straight to my forums? I've noticed forums that do that... including vbulletin.org... you type the address... and it goes directly to /forums/index.php

Thanks

You need your forum index to be in your root directory

Wouldn't that require moving his whole forum though? Much easier might be to just use a redirect.

Yes it would and yes a redirect would work. I answered on the basis there was nothing there as of now. So yes, if you have a forum up and running a redirect would be the way to go.

is the .htaccess the only redirect option? Is there anything a bit more simple?

In your root directory make an index.php file then add this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php
header("Location: http://www.blah.com/forums");
?>

and make sure there is nothing else in that file.
