Apache server question

This is probably a easy question but I just can't figure it out. I run Apache on a in-house Windows box. My url is www.thewirelessregister.com. When that url is accessed it goes to a splash page with a link to www.thewirelessregister.com/fourms/.

How do I configure Apache to go directly to the forum when www.thewirelessregister.com is entered in the browser? It's probably something in the vhosts.conf file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Add a .htaccess file to your root/www folder with this in it, that assumes you have mod_rewrite configured into apache.

Code:

RewriteEngine on

rewritecond %{http_host} ^thewirelessregister.com [nc]

rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.thewirelessregister.com/forums/$1 [r=301,nc]

Or just move the forum directory one level down. Then you can disable .htaccess to have some speed-up.
If you don't want or can move the files, maybe better do it directly in the Vhost configuration that you again disable .htaccess parsing

Make a file called index.php in your domain root with the following content:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php header('Location: http://www.thewirelessregister.com/fourms/'); ?>

I have used that method for years. ;)

It is not a method you should use on a busy site, as it will have a negative impact on performance.

That is the first time I have ever heard that said about doing it that way. How so?

Because it will have 2 pageloads.
